Founding

Brenda Mott, ScrapsKC's founder, spent her childhood in the 70's discovering, building, and creating sparking a lifelong passion for repurposing and reimagining.

As a teacher, Brenda recognized the value of resourcefulness and regularly repurposed items for her classroom. In 2016, together with her husband Jeff, she opened the doors of ScrapsKC in the West Bottoms.

Thanks to the boundless generosity of our community, ScrapsKC, now located in the heart of Midtown, flourished into a dynamic hub for artists, families, educators, and creators of all kinds.

Whether you seek supplies, inspiration, or simply a warm and inviting space, you'll find it here.

Together, we're weaving a tapestry of education, creativity, compassion, and sustainability, making Kansas City a brighter, more inclusive place for all. Thank you for joining us on this transformative journey!
