Lenses not only help focus light onto film in a camera—they are also used in eyeglasses to bend the light we see the world through. Exploring the creative possibilities of this unique material, the afternoon-long, hands-on workshop led by jewelry artist David Mandel Lenses of Life: Charm Bracelets and Necklaces gives students the chance to merge plastic optical lenses and old eyewear lenses with a variety of other materials into a unique charm bracelet or necklace that captures the wearer’s distinct personality.
