About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Creativity meets craftsmanship in this hands-on, no-experience-necessary workshop with local jewelry artist Paloma Vintage Designs. Learn how to design your own personalized charm bracelet with step-by-step guidance and free access to UpCycle's wide variety of donated jewelry supplies and one-of-a-kind found objects! We will be teaching wire wrapping techniques as well as basic assemblage skills. Feel free to bring your jewelry pieces from home to learn how you can incorporate them into something new and useful. Whether you’re looking to add a personal touch to your jewelry collection or dive deeper into the world of wire wrapping, this class is the perfect opportunity to unleash your creativity!

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 something personal you'd like to bring, such as buttons, small items, beads, etc., 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 :)
