Transform old treasures into fresh, fashionable creations in “Jewelry: Recycled, Redesigned, Reimagined” with instructor Joan Moreau McKeever. Students will bring in broken or unworn jewelry pieces (or choose strictly from materials provided by the instructor) and learn how to deconstruct and combine them with new materials to craft stunning, one-of-a-kind designs. Joan will demonstrate essential jewelry-making techniques and share expert tips on color coordination and styling. Each participant will leave with unique, reimagined pieces that reflect personal style and creativity. No prior experience is necessary—just bring imagination and a few forgotten favorites.
