Welcome to 2023!

Scraplantans made 2022 a success thanks to their creative souls that visited from far and wide to support our mission. Folks came together to volunteer 646 hours to create a thriving resource for Atlanta's artists, makers, and teachers. Since we started accepting material donations in May 2022, we have saved 22,996 pounds of craft supplies from the landfill!

Now that our retail space is up and running, we're ready for the next phase: our classroom! This month, we are completing the buildout of our classroom which involves new floors and lights. We're excited about the workshops we will host and the minds we will inspire in 2023!
