SUMMARY:Nothing Scarier than Trash! A Sustainable Jewelry Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Eek! There’s nothing scarier than single-use plastics and unnecessary landfill waste (well, not much at least)! Let’s combat single-use plastics with this new, seasonal Sustainable Jewelry workshop, where participants can help reduce the amount of waste entering our landfills by creating unique, handcrafted earrings or pendants.\nWhat To Expect:\nDid you know that #6 (Polystyrene, often seen in takeout containers) is cheap and easy to make, yet very difficult to recycle? Less than 5% can be recovered. Giving #6 plastic new life helps reduce waste. But what can we make with it? Beautiful, wearable art that stands out as conversation pieces and brings a bit of whimsy to everyday life. Each piece of art serves as a conversation starter about the importance of sustainability for us, ecosystems, and wildlife we live with.\n\nLearn more about recycling, sustainability, who to contact in your township/municipality with questions, and the importance of reducing single-use plastics, all while designing, creating, and taking home your own piece of hand-crafted jewelry or keyring accessory. Each participant will have the opportunity to make 2 sets of earrings, pendants, or keychains and discover more about the process of giving new life to #6 plastics at home. Templates for pumpkins, gourds, mushrooms, acorns, fall leaves, and more will be provided, however participants may create any designs they wish!\n\nAll materials are provided, so the only thing left to bring is your imagination!\nDetails:\nDate/Time: October 9th, 6-7:30pm\n\nLocation: Chester County Art Association (CCAA), West Chester\n\nAdmission: $50/members, $60/non-members. Register through CCAA HERE. Stay tuned for registration links in my social media, here, and in my eblast.
