Salvage Studio Art Party Announcement!

Be the first on your block to register for the Salvage Studio Art Party to be held September 19, 2009! It will be an all day art retreat with three terrific workshops, goodie bags, give-a-ways, optional swaps, food treats and vendor night. We couldn’t be any happier with the location for the retreat – ArtWorks in downtown Edmonds. The three workshops are Junque Journals taught by one of our favorite local multi-media artists, Cindy Pestka; Charm Bracelets incorporating some bling, found objects and aquamarine goodness with Beth Evans-Ramos; and a Frou Frou Fabric Pin with Lisa Hilderbrand.

Registration is limited to the first 60 people to sign up. The cost is $145, with the price rising to $155 for registrations after July 1. If you would like a registration form click here or email Lisa and she will get one out to you. If you are interested in being a vendor (which is no additional cost to Art Party attendees), please indicate so on your registration form.

More information about the Salvage Studio Art Party will be available on our website. As we go along, we’ll be posting more enticing pictures along with additional info about the event and our fabulous sponsors.

Check out our first featured project for the Art Party.

Charm Bracelet


You’ll create your official Art Party charm bracelet with vintage beads and findings, semi-precious gems, pearls, found objects such as tax tokens, locker key tags, tree light bulbs, chandelier crystals and oodles more. Your kit will include a sterling silver chain bracelet and all the necessary findings. You’ll learn how to punch holes, stamp and texture metal, work with mica and lots of wire wrapping skills. For the advanced jewelry makers, we’ll throw in some extra twists and turns. For those new to jewelry making, never fear – you’ll be able to create a masterpiece. One of your charms will be a limited edition and dated Salvage Studio Art Party creation – sure to be the talk of the town!
