About this Event
Turn the overlooked into something unforgettable during the Upcycle & Recreate Workshop at Creative Chaos.
This hands-on workshop is all about building something from nothing—using junk drawer treasures, salvaged materials, and unexpected finds to create one-of-a-kind art. Think less “perfect painting” and more creative problem-solving meets artistic chaos.
Whether you're assembling abstract wall art, transforming old items into something new, or just seeing where the materials take you—this is your chance to create without rules.
Projects may include:
• Upcycled wall art using found objects
• Mixed media assemblages (wood, metal, trinkets, etc.)
• Functional or decorative pieces made from reclaimed materials
• Abstract builds with layered textures and dimension
We’ll provide a wide variety of materials, tools, and surfaces to work with. You’re also encouraged to bring your own items—old keys, hardware, costume jewelry, small tools, sea shells, rocks, or anything with a story.
Great for beginners, families, date nights, or anyone who loves to build, tinker, and get a little messy.
No experience needed. Our instructors are available to guide you as much or as little as you'd like—from full creative freedom to step-by-step support.
