Sarah Dyer, Store Manager sarah@scrapaction.org
SCRAP Program Focus: Store, Material Donations
Sarah Dyer hails from Wisconsin where her family and much-loved corgi Jack lives. She studied art at the University of Minnesota and is very happy to be applying her degree to her current profession at SCRAP. Her life as an artist and re-user began at an early age when her crafty mother began taking her to church rummage sales. Her current medium varies but she prefers collage and assemblage. Her work is inspired by her memories and travels which have taken her to many places including Australia, Malaysia, India, and Ecuador. Sarah’s favorite SCRAP item is vintage graph paper. She worships the volunteers.

Bethany Moore, Volunteer Coordinator bethany@scrapaction.org
SCRAP Program Focus: Volunteer engagement in Creative Reuse Center, education, outreach and events.
Bethany Moore arrived in Portland after living for a few years on Orcas Island where she made sculpture out of amazing junk and ran an organization that records medieval music. When she walked into Scrap she knew she’d found her place, where all scrappers have that look of secret knowing, the glee of a “find”. You’ll see that twinkle in her eye when you show her something you’ve scored at Scrap.

Beth is a graduate of Western Washington University holding a BA in sculpture. She loves re-use centers, metal scrap yards, hardware stores, rooting through old barns and finding a priceless treasure on the side of the road. When not at Scrap, Beth can be found behind welding goggles, stone carving, wood working, road tripping, gardening, or trance dancing to didjeridoos. She loves to cook supper for friends, is committed to working and living in her neighborhood, volunteering for worthy causes, and using scrap to make art. She considers the volunteers at Scrap true bodhisattvas.

Abby Teel, Workshop and Camp Coordinator, NWSA AmeriCorps Member abby@scrapaction.org
SCRAP Program Focus: in-house workshops, development of summer camp
Abby is from New England (Massachusetts & Vermont). While she is a big fan of puddles (what with the splashing and such) that are a staple of Portland weather, she finds it hard to make “rain-angels”, “rain-men”, “rain-forts” or have a “rain-ball fight” and thus misses the bellybutton-high snow that she enjoyed during the Vermont winters.

She has been involved with other programs like SCRAP in both Burlington, Vermont and New York City, and is very excited and grateful to now be an Americorps/Northwest Service Academy volunteer for such a wonderful organization. She aims to use her knowledge and passion for reused-material art to grow SCRAP’s workshop program and build an art camp for kids due to take place Summer 2008! In her free time, Abby likes to rummage through trash, junk and heaps of stuff…then make stuff with it all.
