A craft swap allows folks to
drop off unused crafts, and: a) feel good about sustainably donating items that
will be reused by new crafters and/or b) get first dibs on "shopping"
for new craft supplies!
How it works:
1) Drop off any unused or unwanted craft items to the Morse Institute Library between Tuesday, October 10th and Thursday, October 12th.
2) Receive a ticket for early access to the Craft Swap (from 9-11 am on Friday, October 13th.)
3) Early access "shoppers" get first pick of what's available
4) At 11am the Craft Swap will open to the general public
FAQ:
Do I have to donate a
certain amount of stuff to get an early access ticket?
No, we don't judge. Drop
off stuff, get a ticket! It's that easy
Do I have to donate crafts
in order to participate in the swap?
No, you will be able to
"shop: from Friday October 13th at 11am through 4pm on Saturday, October
14th.
I have a couple of shoe
boxes full of beads and metal wire. I don't have time to sort it all out. Can I
just drop it off and be done with it?
We gently ask that all
donated craft supplies have containers (i.e. please don't give us a handful of
beads) and be clean and free of damage. These should be new or gently-used
items you would like to find a home.
Am I limited in how many
craft supplies I can take?
No, there is no limit to
the amount of free craft supplies you can take with you. The only thing we ask
is to please be respectful to other folks who also might be interested in
items, and to always be kind.
Will you have bags or
containers on hand for me to put all my stuff in?
We cannot guarantee bags
will be available, so we recommend you bring your own bags or containers.
