Eco Workshops become a Norm in Knoxville

Thanks to Jason at Pilot Light and to all that have been participating in our Eco Make & Take it workshops over the last month. Because you make it possible, we are proud to announce that we will be making them a normal thing everyone month. Come out the first Sunday of each month to the Pilot Light in the Old City to enjoy crafting, listening to mystery records, and eating tasty treats. The creative possibilities that arise at these workshops are amazing! Everything from jewelry to handbags to funky sculptures of recycled goodness.

We would love to have you attend one of these workshops. Invite your friends and spread the word.

STEAMPUNK LINE IS UP AND RUNNING!!!

Hello all- It is hard to believe that it is February 2011... time is flying by. But that means that we are well underway to festivals, fairs, and big events. Also, I want to let you all know that I have been tweaking my jewelry line to include a wider variety of upcycled pieces- leaning towards the steampunk style.

What is steampunk, you ask? It is wonderful collaboration between a vintage Victorian feel and inspiration from the Industrial movement, and add a little sci-fi ambiance... roll it all together and you have a very brief idea of what steampunk is. But it is fun and inventive and very unique.

So to kick it off, I have a few displays going on- the Visitor's Center will have some of my new jewelry at their booth at the Women's Today Expo, in Knoxville, TN. And then again, my stuff will be on display for the Rhythm and Blooms Festival. Also, if you are interested in making your own pieces or learning more about it, I am going to be teaching a steampunk jewelry class on April 28th, at the Town of Farragut's Town Hall at 6:30pm. More details to follow on that.

If you would like to check out my new pieces, go to www.sarahbrobst.artfire.com and take a look.

Also, if you have old junk in a drawer at your house, I am looking for donations of old watches (they don't have to run), old keys, charms, junk jewelry, etc. that I can use for my classes. If you have anything you would like to donate, please send me an email at lilysjb@hotmail.com.

Thank you ahead of time and I hope to see you around town!
