SCRAP Workshop: Project Accessorize w/ emiko oye & Shana Astrachan
February 25th, 10am – 4pm fee: $60
Fearless alt craft duo, emiko oye and Shana Astrachan of Accessorize with Toys are back once again with another specially designed project for SCRAP’s jewelry fans: PROJECT ACCESSORIZE. Taking cues from the reality series, Project Runway and Project Accessory, in this full-day workshop participants will design, “shop” for materials, and create a one-of-a-kind, personalized art jewelry piece using techniques presented in class. Participants are asked to bring with them a personal treasure from home that is the inspiration point to be the central object of focus for their jewelry. Shana and emiko will guide individuals through the creative process to “Make it Work”, sharing techniques for working with alternative materials and local resources. Included in this all-day workshop will be an artist presentation on their work, Q&A session, and group critique/brainstorming session to inspire making beyond the classroom.
