About this event

Event lasts 2 hours

Join us for a fun and eco-conscious jewelry-making class led by Paloma Vintage Designs! In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to transform discarded plastic into a stunning charm necklace, giving new life to found materials while creating a one-of-a-kind accessory. We'll explore techniques for cutting, shaping, and assembling plastic pieces into a stylish, wearable work of art. No prior experience is necessary—just bring your creativity and a passion for sustainability! All materials are provided, but feel free to bring your own found plastics to personalize your piece. Let’s turn trash into treasure together!

Frequently asked questions

Are all materials included?

Yes! We will have all the necessary materials for you to learn the technique, but if you have any items at home you'd like to bring, such as colorful plastic you'd like to repurpose, please feel free to do so!

Where can I park?

We share a parking lot with a couple of other businesses, but you are free to park in any spot labeled "BUILDING MOMENTUM".

Will the shop be open during the workshop?

We hold the adult workshops after hours, so unfortunately items from the shop will not be available for purchase during the workshop. Please feel free to come back anytime during our normal hours to continue your crafting! We are open W-F 12pm-6pm and Sat-Sun 10am-4pm.

Who will be teaching the workshop?

We offer space for local artisans to showcase their skills and spread their knowledge! Your teacher is a member of your community with a passion for upcycling :)
