Jewelry Collage (framed)
Instructor: MJ McCurdy
$40

Email or call 724.452.0539 to register.

Do you have bits and pieces of jewelry laying around, costume or vintage, maybe stray earrings? Don’t know what to do with them? Come to this fun class and make a framed, one-of-a-kind, heart jewelry collage for someone special or create a family heirloom for yourself. Some students have used jewelry belonging to a loved one who passed and made beautiful memory pieces.

Materials include: frames (sizes vary, as these are up-cycled with varying sizes,  5”x7”, 8”x10”, etc), mounted black velveteen backing, miscellaneous beads, bracelets, pins, and other bits and pieces to add to your collage. Ready to hang when you go home. To buy a piece like this would cost from $85-$125. Take this class and make your own for much less.

We use E6000 glue to attach the jewelry pieces. If you are sensitive to glue odor, you may not want to take this class.
