Project Accessorize II: 2 Fast 2 Fabulous – Talisman Pendants
w/ emiko oye & Shana Astrachan
Saturday, February 9th 10am – 4pm fee: $60
For all you SCRAP jewelry fans, alt craft duo, emiko oye and Shana Astrachan of Accessorize with Toys bring back PROJECT ACCESSORIZE for another full-day workshop. Taking cues from the reality series, Project Runway, participants will have one day to design, “shop” for materials, and create a one-of-a-kind, personalized talisman pendant. Participants will choose a personal treasure, either brought from home or found at SCRAP, that will be the inspiration point and central object of focus for their talisman pendant. Shana and emiko will guide individuals through the 
creative process to “Make it Work”, sharing techniques for working with alternative materials and local resources. The instructors will share examples of their work and of other recycled artists and lead a group critique/brainstorming session to inspire making beyond the classroom.
