Favorite of the Week: A collage of colorful bling! ✨💎

One person's old jewelry is another person's treasure! Take a look at the unique, dazzling collages made at our jewelry collage class this week. From beads to pendants, participants turned pre-loved pieces into sparkling works of art.

We loved seeing our patrons try something different and get creative.
