Current Workshop: Up-cycling in Art
On display, will be artworks that I have created using up-cycled broken jewelry. I’ll take you through the step-by-step process of creating your very own piece to go home with.
We will paint with acrylic on stretched canvas, look through my 30-year collection of broken jewelry, and ‘stick’ those broken bits to our artworks. Below, is an example of a “Fish Stick” that we will make. You’ll leave hooked on recycling in art! Questions? Get in touch!Send me a message through my General Contact Form.

Join me for a fun and fascinating workshop that combines recycling beads, broken jewelry and buttons with painting. No previous experience is needed in this afternoon of playful instruction. Stretch your creative muscles while discovering a new way to look at the things that we often discard or dismiss.
General Information on my classes and me
My teaching stems from my formal Fine Art training, where I specialized in Painting, Mixed-Media, and Sculpture. Combining those interests, I am developing a series of workshops focused on Up-cycling in Art. You’ll discover a new way to see those things we often discard or dismiss. Re-using items such as staples, broken jewelry, and other found objects, I will guide participants through every step of making recycled paintings, miniatures, or jewelry; all creations that tell a story. For those who don’t know me, my warm personality sets the stage for a playful, relaxed atmosphere where no previous experience is needed, and everyone goes home with their very own artwork.
Other Workshop ideas that are in the ‘works’:
- rolled-paper bead earrings,
- acrylic paintings with recycled beads and broken jewelry,
- staple art,
- paper-making,
- using natural elements such as fluffy dandelion seeds in jewelry,
- and whatever up-cycle-oriented ideas you want me to try to teach!
