In this engaging three-week, hands-on workshop, you’ll have the chance to transform unused costume jewelry into fresh, stylish accessories. Bring in old pieces, and let your creativity flow!
All tools, materials, and plenty of inspiration will be provided.
With Lianna’s expert guidance, you’ll explore the art of redesign and experiment with unexpected materials. Begin with a brainstorming session to share your pieces and creative vision, followed by live demonstrations to spark your imagination. Together, we’ll create mood boards, sketch design concepts, and dive into key design principles, including scale, color, style, and theme, tailored to your unique collection.
Next, you’ll dismantle your jewelry and reassemble it into fabulous, one-of-a-kind creations. Multiple pieces can be made depending on your ideas and level of detail, with live demonstrations covering techniques like wire wrapping, bead stringing, and metal hammering.
Show and Tell: Conclude the workshop by showcasing your redesigned pieces and sharing the stories behind them.
Perfect for anyone wanting to upcycle costume or heirloom jewelry, unleash creativity, and learn new crafting techniques in a supportive setting!
