Workshop Description
Resin charms are little metal frames you can fill with tiny gems, bits of paper ephemera, beads… anything itty bitty! All the tools, supplies, and inspiration provided to make as many charms as you like during the three-hour workshop! Crafters can also bring meaningful little bits and bobs such as an earring that has lost its mate, a photo of a loved one, petals or tiny flowers, a snippet of a ticket stub, yarn from a beloved, or a stamp from a special letter. Students will graduate Charm School with 3-5 unique mini collage keepsakes!
For late teens, young adults, adults

About the Artist
Lara Starr made her first resin charm at Maker Faire and was... charmed! She wanted to make more but was bummed to be told, "One per person!"
She took matters into my own hands and ordered materials to make them herself. The more she made, the more she wanted to make!
There's nothing she loves more than crafting and kibbitzing, so she hosted charm-making parties at home. Everyone had such a good time she started to think bigger!
Now she leads workshops at co-working spaces, community centers, community college extensions, galleries, bookstores, and private parties.
She’s especially gratified to help the crafters who arrive believing they are "not creative" go from cautious to confident. Within a short time, they are beaming with pride at what they've made, and brimming with more ideas!
