Join us to learn how to upcycle the small objects you may already have in your home!

Are you looking for ways to reduce the amount of trash in your home? Join us and At Home Custom Crafters for Upcycling the Smalls! This program is dedicated to showing you how to take the small objects that would otherwise be thrown away and turn them into a brand new piece of art!

Participants will be shown how to select the right objects, how to clean them, and how to prep them for use. Then, unleash your creativity to design your own creation!

By the end of the workshop, you'll not only have a unique, eco-friendly creation but also a deeper appreciation for sustainable living and the joy of upcycling.

All materials provided.

About the presenter: Camille Hicks started At Home Custom Crafters after realizing how much she enjoyed refinishing her own kitchen cabinets on her own, and taking on more DIY upcycling projects from there. She and her husband also run Your Dog's Bakery in Mechanicsville.
