The Jewellery Quarter Scrapstore and office and have now moved to a new building, The Argent Centre, so that we can offer our services in a more focused way. The new JQ Scrapstore opened on Tuesday 3rd July 2018.
This new Scrapstore is going to look very different and will cater for the crafters amongst you. You will be able to source fabrics, card, tubes, carpet tiles, printing materials, ribbon, and all sorts of wonderful craft resources. Please check out our Facebook page to take a look. We are based in the Argent Centre, Unit 301A, 60 Frederick Street, Birmingham, B1 3HS. There is street parking, as before, and a lift service. Please press the buzzer, near the main entrance, for Unit 301A and we will let you in……..go into the lift and press floor 3 ….turn left and there we are!
We are also able to offer training and workshops at our new Argent Centre site as we have our very own training room. Our workshop/training timetable will be available soon and we will continue to offer workshops at other city venues too. We hope you will pop in to see us and take advantage of the new layout and resources.
Of course, we continue to offer wonderful resources at Yardley where some of the larger items can be stored as well as everything you could need for loose parts play in your setting or business.
Our other exciting news is that we were given the opportunity to attend at the Creative Craft Show at the NEC on 29th June to 1st July 2018. Our Scrapstore stall advertised what we do and offered free workshops to make fabric flowers (using fabric from the Scrapstore) and participants were given a Free Morsbag Kit.
Korbond donated a beautiful sewing box which was handed to one of our Volunteers as she supplied us with all the Morsbags that we gave away on the day.
Our Manager, Emma Payne, gave a presentation at lunchtime each day promoting Scrapstores, recycling and loose parts play and what we do towards this in Birmingham! It all went fantastically well!!
A huge thank you goes out to all our wonderful Volunteers who supported us!
