Join us for a morning of DIY nature-based jewelry! We’ll learn about how to work with bone safely as a natural material and a bit about the human history of using bone for tools.
Then, we’ll work with bone shards (some from the wolf feeding piles from our partners at Wolf Haven International!), honing them to the shape and size we want using a traditional sandstone shaping process. Finally, we’ll add notches, optional beads and embellishments, and either earring hooks or a jump ring for necklaces. All while outside at a shelter in the beautiful, waterside Squaxin Park!
The three-hour class should leave enough time for breaks and socializing as well depending on how speedy of a crafter you are!
