Makers Supply SWAP!
A perfect incentive to clean out your craft closet and unload items collecting dust. Plus, find new items to inspire your next project!
Bring your supplies, tools, craft books, and anything else you’re willing to trade. We’ll mix, mingle, and most importantly, swap supplies for some that are new-to-you and perfect for your next project!
The swap will run from 5-8pm, drop by whenever within that time! The swap will be first come first serve. Also, feel free to bring friends, the more the merrier!
Here’s how it works:
::::Bring items you don’t use, need, or love.
::::Please bring bundled items in clear, labeled zippered bags.
::::Place on tables according to item (fabric, paper, wood, yarn, books/patterns, etc — we will have this set up for you).
::::Take home whatever you like!

*** Supplies can also be dropped off at Hotel Rapids Feb 1st-7th in advance of the event as well!***
We recommend that everyone who takes supplies home also donate a few supplies. Please make sure items are in usable condition. Any remaining supplies will be donated to an art program for artists with disabilities.

What to leave at home:
If it stinks, we don’t want it.
Please don’t bring anything moldy, dirty, super heavy, or in need of repair. We love the old, cool, vintage stuff, but if it isnt functional, please leave it at home.
This swap is not for antiques or curios, it’s about usable crafting and art making materials and supplies.
We do love fabric but we can’t use your small scraps (less than a fat quarter), cut up t-shirts, stuffing from your sofa.
We also ask that you leave the hazardous materials in your garage, including oil-based solvents, house paint, dry paint tubes, stuff that is crazy heavy, etc.
If it cannot be used immediately and without rehabilitation as a crafting material, supply, or tool, please don’t bring it.
