Ready to turn your inner 8-year-old’s favorite craft into your most iconic accessory? Join us for this quirky, colorful, and creatively charged jewelry-making class where Shrinky Dinks get a glow-up for grown-ups.  In this ultra-fun, hands-on workshop, artist Christy Brinkman will help you design, draw, and shrink your own custom artwork to create one-of-a-kind earrings from recyclable plastics. Think statement pieces, retro flair, and wearable art that screams "I made this and yes, I AM amazing." Come get crafty, make some shiny new friends, and leave with jewelry that’s 100% you. This class is for adult students 18+.  All supplies will be provided.  If you need accommodations for this program, please contact the Foundry as soon as you are able.
