Bling Hack: An Upcycle Workshop

Upcycle Parts Shop is the leader in sustainable art and craft supplies in Cleveland.We are a non-profit dedicated to provoking creativity and promoting community through reuse.We operate a unique storefront where people can donate used art + craft supplies, as well as shop for the same items at a very low cost. We serve thousands of participants each year by supplying materials to creative endeavors through this retail shop, leading engaging programming, and building community in Cleveland's St. Clair community that we call home.We shine a light on the potential of everything around us. To us, upcycling and “creative reuse” is about believing in the value of materials already in our hands and homes, and the joy of sparking thoughtful creativity within our community and the self.Together, we have diverted over 27 tons of waste from the landfill since opening in 2014 and we are grateful to our community of donors and patrons for helping us createless waste & more art!

<IMG SRC="https://cdn.evbuc.com/eventlogos/106939919/copyofcopyofuntitleddesign-1.png">BLING HACK is your chance to learn how to transform broken, underwhelming, and unloved jewelry into one-of-a-kind upcycled creations! In this workshop we’ll show you some basic upcycled jewelry design techniques before giving you access to our epic collection of jewelry and findings. You’ll learn to make a few necklace styles, and you can explore and design on your own, too. Tools, findings, instruction, and take-apart jewelry are all included!
We’ll meet in our upstairs* creative space to eat, drink, learn, make, and laugh with other friendly folks who are curious about upcycling. We’ll have a light lunch to share, and you’re welcome to BYOB if you want to enjoy something stronger than the water and coffee we’ll provide. As an added bonus, we are offering all workshop attendees 10% off any purchases made in our retail shop so you can stock up on supplies for your newly formed jewelry making habit!
Don’t worry if you’re new to the craft; we welcome beginners and experts alike. We’ll share some easy styles if you like to keep it simple, but you can also go rogue and create the upcycled jewelry of your dreams. Grab your friends, reserve your tickets, and we’ll see you on April 27th! 
 
*Upcycle Parts Shop is located in a historic building and the upstairs room is accessible by stairs only. We apologize for the inconvenience to those with physical limitations, but if this is you, please know that we are working on offering a similar workshop in a more accessible location later this summer. Please reach out to <A HREF="mailto:marissa@upcyclepartsshop.org" TARGET="_blank" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">marissa@upcyclepartsshop.org</A> if you’d like to know those details when they become available.
