Crafternoon: Steampunk and Techcycled Jewelry
March 16, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
The robotics team from Spare Parts built their winning robot through a combination of new and reused parts. We’re taking that same approach and applying it to jewelry design! Your challenge: using parts removed from old electronics and new jewelry hardware such as pendant trays and charms, create a stunning necklace, bracelet or earring set. Follow our steampunk inspired examples or branch out with your own design. For adults and teens ages 11+. All materials provided.

Horan, Nancy.
In her new novel, Nancy Horan has recreated a love story that is as unique, passionate, and overwhelmingly powerful as the one between Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Cheney depicted so memorably in Loving Frank. Under the Wide and Starry Sky chronicles the unconventional love affair of Scottish literary giant Robert Louis Stevenson, author of classics including Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and American divorcee Fanny Van de Grift Osbourne. They meet in rural France in 1875, when Fanny, having run away from her philandering husband back in California, takes refuge there with her children. Stevenson too is escaping from his life, running from family pressure to become a lawyer. And so begins a turbulent love affair that will last two decades and span the world.In her masterful new novel, Nancy Horan has recreated a love story that is as unique, passionate, and overwhelmingly powerful as the one between Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Cheney depicted so memorably in Loving Frank.
