Lauren—who runs the small business Begin Again Goods—will guide you through:
- Prepping natural and found objects
- Applying conductive coatings
- Electroforming magic that turns everyday items into stunning jewelry
We’ll provide all the tools and materials, from UV lamps to crystals, copper solution to jump rings (and lots of inspiring examples, too!).
Want to add a personal touch? Feel free to bring your own little treasures: pinecones, shells, leaves, printed images, crystals, insects—you name it! Lauren will help you figure out how to safely and beautifully transform them into something new.
Spots are limited (12 max!), so be sure to reserve yours soon.
This is a rare opportunity to learn from a practicing artist and professor whose work explores beauty, mystery, and the in-between.
