about me
Welcome to the tribe.net page of San Francisco's re-source workshop warehouse, where recycling becomes everyday art. We transform the consumer routine of discarding things into a dapper dexterity for making new-fangled bird feeders, wallets, and wall-hangings. And this is just the beginning. Gathered between the walls of our warehouse are resourceful artists and enthusiasts mingling and crafting, with an alluring eye for "re"-ing.

Made From Scrap classes are for the people, by the people. This means anyone can teach and everyone can learn. Our teachers are those with a special knack for transforming ready-made objects and all are welcomed to apply for an evening, special project, and more. Our students are those from the artsy in-hiding to the extraordinaire. Our classes come from what our students and teachers suggest, from the objects they want to resource (milk cartons, phone books, wood pallets) to the ones they want to remake (planter, table top, hat stand). Although our facility and teachers provide many resources, some classes require students come ready with specific tools and materials, which are outlined in the class descriptions. And as our fledgling scrap-shop expands, we'll be bringing in other creative opportunities, from pottery, paper-making, welding, carpentry, and more.

For more information about any of the above, visit our website!
