Trinket Shadow Box
Saturday April 12th 1pm-3pm
EcoShip
4750 N Rockwell St, Chicago, IL 60625
$45
Dive into the meditative world of knolling by creating a Trinket Shadow Box with Jessica of Round Two Upcycled Craft Parties!
Rather than focusing on learning a skill, you will have the opportunity to create a mindful display of color, texture & order. Calmly enjoy sifting through the piles of trinkets, oddities and discarded bits & bobs to arrange your perfect flat lay.
Your instructor, Jessica, will provide all materials including a second-hand frame, backing paper, cordless glue gun & huge array or trinkets collected from people around the entire country. Also feel free to bring your own items to either add to your own display or drop in one of the boxes for future knollers to enjoy.
Class runs 2 hours and is recommended for ages 6+ (an adult must assist children under 12 with using their glue guns).
Feel free to bring your shipping supply donations to the class!
