Crafters' Swap! Sat Nov 5, Concord Library

Crafters’ Swap! 

Saturday, Nov 5, 2016

12-2pm

Concord Library: 2900 Salvio St, Concord, CA 94519

Free to the Public!  All Skill Levels Welcome!  All Ages Welcome!

Kiera Rain, owner of Bay Area Professional Organizer Co, saw a consistent problem--many of her artsy clients had an accumulation of art supplies and unfinished projects cluttering their homes. They didn’t want things going the landfill, and the supplies weren’t saleable at thrift stores--so no good to donate to charity. Kiera then partnered with Christina Benson, Adult Services Librarian at the Concord Library, to host a monthly Crafters’ Swap to solve this very problem! They are hoping the monthly Crafters’ Swap grows big and other libraries catch on!

Crafters of all mediums can now meetup at the library to swap not only their excess supplies, but also their ideas, talents and even their unfinished projects! Guests arrive, plop down their donations, and enjoy creating from the bounty. When ready to leave, feel free to take from the excess. Left-Over Art Supplies not taken by visitors will be donated to the East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse in Oakland, or used by the library for teen/children activities, or donated to Contra Costa art classrooms.

So Come One, Come All to this FREE community event to sit and create for 2 hours--o, what zen!

Saturday, Nov 5th, 12-2pm and Saturday, Dec 3rd, 12-2pm. MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW! See ya there!
