SCRAP is a social enterprise based in Farsley, Leeds; it focuses on helping the environment by reusing waste material from local businesses – originally destined for landfill – for use as a resource for creativity and play.
Over several months, I set up shop at the Maker’s Lab at Scrap, selecting, manipulating and transforming scrap material using basketry techniques.
If you have ever visited Scrap you will know it is an Aladdin’s Cave for any maker so I had to set some parameters with regards to choice of materials, deciding to focus on electrical and other types of cable.
