Adult GalleRE Workshop: How to Make Anything into an Earring

Join WORN artists Siena Mayers in upcycling earrings. In this workshop, participants will be provided with the tools, materials, and instruction for creating a variety of earring styles. Participants will also be provided with a selection of unusual materials from the Resource Depot collection to inspire creativity and thinking outside of the earring box. Everyone will leave the session with at least one new pair of original earrings. Welcome to bring your own items to try and upcycle as well. No jewelry making experience is necessary. Geared towards adults, but appropriate for ages 13 and up.
