All tools are provided (and available for purchase at $6 if you would like to keep them after the class). The project kit (for both pendants) is available for those who want to create, along with the workshop, for $12 (recommended). No experience is needed, just bring your creativity!

Artist Bio: Rachel — Rabid Arts & Crafts
Rachel, the creative force behind Rabid Arts & Crafts, is an ecologist and artist whose work celebrates resilience, nature, and the beauty of adapting through failure. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, she crafts wearable art pieces that serve as reminders of strength, transformation, and hope. At the heart of her process are the stones and natural materials she works with; she believes that nature itself is the true artist. Each handmade piece tells a story of adaptation: proof that from challenges, creativity flourishes. This philosophy guides not only her art but also her work as a scientist, weaving together ecology and artistry into a single vision of perseverance and transformation.
