🪡OPEN STUDIO CRAFT NIGHT🌿 You learned it. Now come practice it!! Join us next week for a Open Studio Craft Night on Tuesday, May 27 from 6 to 8pm inside the Piedmont Park Conservancy building! The Piedmont Park Conservancy Community Center is located at 1071 Piedmont Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30306 in the same plaza as Shake Shack and Willy's. Parking is limited onsite, but there is street parking on neighboring streets. This is free studio time for anyone in the Scraplanta community , and especially for Green Creatives Academy attendees who want to come back and keep working on the skills and projects from their class sessions. No new lesson. No pressure. Just dedicated time and space to practice what you've been building. Bring whatever you're working on (we will have some essentials, too!) Bring the technique that's still clicking into place. Bring the project that needs one more focused session. The space is yours and the whole community will be around you, as it should be. Free and open to all. Drop in anytime!! 📍 Piedmont Park Conservancy Building, Atlanta 📅 Tuesday, May 27 🕕 6–8pm #Scraplanta #ScraplantaCreativeReuse #GreenCreativesAcademy #FiberArts #FiberArtsIncubator #CreativeReuse #AtlantaEvents #AtlantaCreatives #ATL #CraftersOfInstagram #Scraptucker #AtlantaArts #MakerSpace #CraftCommunity #TextileArt #HandmadeATL #SustainableATL #SlowFashion #MakeThings #ATLCommunity #OpenStudio #FiberArtsATL #EcoArts #ZeroWaste #PiedmontPark

JUNE IS COMING IN HOT AND WE ARE READY! ☀️🧵🌈 Friends, we are absolutely PACKED this month and we couldn’t be more excited to make with you! We’re kicking things off with Creative Reuse Cosplay at Clayton County Library — yes, you get to turn scraps into your dream cosplay costume. Tell us that’s not the perfect way to start Pride Month! Then? We’re basically throwing a month-long creative party. Junk journaling for the paper lovers. Scrappy sewing circles for the textile folx. No-sew bookbinding because not everything needs a needle and thread. Crochet flowers, paper making — honestly, pick your craft adventure! And can we talk about Green Creatives Academy? June is stacked. Fashion figure drawing, ForaJunking, gathered garments, plushie bag making, quilting tote bags. This is your moment to strut your stuff. Build your skillset in the fiber world, level up your practice, and work toward something real — a Trashion Show where our community gets to walk the runway and celebrate everything they made. Pride Month energy all the way through. Reminder:: You can sign up for any GCA workshop anytime. But if you want to walk that runway at our summer Trashion Show graduation, you’ll need to be with us for each module. The whole journey. (It’s worth every stitch!!) 📍 Scraptucker | The Scraplet | All around 285!! Don’t forget we are Atlanta’s most accessible creative reuse nonprofit for a reason — our workshops are sliding scale because we want YOU there. Check the full calendar and grab your spot through link in bio! Let’s make June unforgettable together. See you soon, Scrappy Fam! 💚✨🌈 #Scraplanta #ScraplantaCreativeReuse #GreenCreativesAcademy #CreativeReuse #atlantapride

✂️MAY SCRAPPY SEWING CIRCLE 🧵 Patches. Appliqué. Making something from what you already have! That is the Scraplanta way. This Wednesday we're getting into it!! Scrappy Sewing Circle is going intermediate — we're learning how to make patches and appliqué from scratch, and how to look at a worn out piece of fabric and see possibility instead of a problem. Bring your machine if you've got one. We've got fabric, rotary cutters, scissors, needles, and thread. This session counts toward the Green Creatives Academy. GCA is our summer fiber arts incubator running May through July, helping experienced sewists and fiber artists learn how to make their practices more sustainable. Spots go fast for our sewing circles so grab yours now at the link in our bio!! 📍 Scraptucker, 2130 Henderson Mill Rd 📅 Wednesday, May 20 🕕 6–8pm #Scraplanta #ScraplantaCreativeReuse #GreenCreativesAcademy #ScrappySewing #FiberArts #FiberArtsIncubator #CreativeReuse #AtlantaEvents #AtlantaCreatives #ATL #TextileArt #Scraptucker #AtlantaArts #MakerSpace #CraftCommunity #SewingCommunity #SlowFashion #MakeDoAndMend #SustainableATL #HandmadeATL #ZeroWaste #Upcycle #EcoArts #ATLCommunity #DIYCrafts

Crochet Mania is here and Airo is ready for you. Join us for Crochet Mania — a two-day GCA workshop at The Scraplet on Friday May 16 and Saturday May 17, starting at 3pm both days! Two days deep in the intricacies and delights of crochet. You'll learn the loops, the circles, the construction — and walk out with your own handmade circle belt and a skill set you'll use way beyond this workshop. This is the Green Creatives Academy. Our summer fiber arts incubator for makers who are done dabbling and ready to actually go there, for our folks who identify as Intermediate to advanced. Come as you are and get ready to get inspired! @kyraiscar will guide you through every loop and circle, every click of the technique, every moment it starts to make sense in your hands. That's the whole GCA philosophy. Learn it deep enough that you own it and make it part of your fiber arts practice. 📍 The Scraplet, 900 Murphy Ave SW 📅 Friday, May 16 + Saturday, May 17 🕒 3pm both days Tickets are still available!!

May at Scraplanta. Full calendar, two locations, and something we’ve been building toward for a while. 🌸💚 This month we’re launching the Green Creatives Academy, a fiber arts incubator for makers who are ready to go deeper. Not just learn a stitch but understand it, own it, build a practice around it. GCA classes drop alongside our regular programming at both Scraptucker and The Scraplet. They’re open to the public and you can join on a one-off basis, but come knowing these are intermediate to advanced level. This is for makers who are ready to level up. And our regular programming is as full as ever. Sewing circles, junk journaling, crochet, paper making, a community quilt reception, and a free craft night outside at Piedmont Park. Skills that remind us that creativity doesn’t need new materials. It just needs people willing to show up and make something. Swipe to see the full May calendar and grab your spots. Registration links are live in the bio now!! 📍 Scraptucker: 2130 Henderson Mill Rd, Atlanta GA 30345 📍 The Scraplet: 900 Murphy Ave SW, Atlanta GA 30310 Let’s get making, Scrappy fam!! 🧵💚 #Scraplanta #ScraplantaCreativeReuse #GreenCreatives #FiberArts AtlantaEvents
