Was given a bag of costume jewelry and was able to to play around with all the things inside as well as placement for the brooch.

Made molds of costume jewelry and candy. Then used those molds to create plastic casts.

RADICAL JEWELRY MAKEOVER

Radical Jewelry Make over (RJM) is a traveling community, jewelry mining & recycling project; teaching makers how to produce fresh jewelry from recycled sources.

For the month of March (2018), students from UW-Milwaukee, UW-Madison, UW-Stout and regional artists/alumni will create new jewelry from the community “mined” donations.

Those new creations will be held on Exhibition and donated back to the project.
