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.
