I had a great experience at Scrap Thrift Store! They have so many amazing items to choose from, and the art and décor inside the store were absolutely incredible. The Scrap Store is such a unique place with so many treasures available at affordable prices. I really appreciate this store and the creativity, variety, and value it offers. I highly recommend stopping by and seeing what you can find!

I did a browse of this amazing shop before taking a block printing class and will definitely come back for some supplies the next time I’m in town.

The class was really great as well, and I look forward to taking another!

The Durham Scrap Exchange is truly a marvel. So many odds and ends, and I found exactly what I needed. Made me think of the Room of Requirement in HP (not a fan of the series anymore but the world building is still something short of a miracle).

A dangerous place for a rapidly emptying wallet and endless ideation.

Filled with a lot of art supplies, more than one can imagine. Friendly staff. They also host events. Prices are good too. Plenty of free parking.

This crafting and thrifting space is a gem of Durham, NC! I recommend that everyone visits at least once and you will find something extremely unique. The staff is kind and amplified the joy of the trip. If you are easily over stimulated, be mindful of planning your trip, but otherwise is an artists dream. The prices are also amazing if you are a teacher or home schooling parent and trying to budget well for making lesson plan materials. I hope this space stays open forever. They also offer private reservations for team building and have an art gallery featuring local artists. This is a wonderful to support a local business and also have a fun time.
