We love seeing what our regular visitors create with materials from The ScrapStore 🩷

Regular visitor Val has made another beautiful patchwork quilt using ScrapStore materials - and has kindly donated it back to East Kent Mencap to be raffled off and raise money for the charity.

We also loved seeing regular visitor John’s latest project. John, a children’s illustrator, showed us the colour wheel he has created using ScrapStore paper as part of his experiments in colour theory collage. He popped back in recently to fill a few gaps and see if we had any new colours since his last visit a week earlier… luckily, we did!

Thank you to everyone who supports, creates and shares their work with us 🩷

Abbie Ziegler’s new exhibition - My Last Rodeo - is showing in Ramsgate this week 🩷 The exhibition reflects her lived experience following a terminal cancer diagnosis and is a wonderful, colourful collection of work.

Abbie has been coming to The ScrapStore for years and has kindly shared how our materials have featured throughout her work. The stems in this floral piece were made using green knitting needles sourced from The ScrapStore, and much of the wider exhibition includes repurposed and found materials such as fabrics and even hospital bedpans - all transformed into something creative, expressive and full of character.

If you’re in Ramsgate this week, it’s well worth a visit. The exhibition is on until 9 May at The Wooden Box Gallery - go and see the work!

Cuteness overload 🧡 We had a very special visitor at The ScrapStore last week… Sonny, 4 months old, showing off a full outfit made using ScrapStore materials!

Sonny came in with his grandma Donna and mum Tilly, who created his adorable look - a hand-knitted striped cardigan and handmade trousers using yarn, buttons and even offcuts of teddy bear fabric, all from The ScrapStore.

This might be one of our cutest makes yet! ✨
