Celebrate Earth Day at an eco-friendly craft evening led by jewelry artist and fashion icon Debra Rapoport. In this hands-on workshop, participants will create bold palm leaf pendants embellished with upcycled materials including bottle caps, buttons, and textiles. Art materials will be provided. Participants may also bring their own everyday throwaways to transform into chic wearables.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Debra Rapoport works with nontraditional and repurposed materials to create embellishments and accessories for which she is widely admired for wearing with great panache. Rather than consume, Rapoport reinvents and curates her closet, transcending from fashion into personal style.

Her work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Los Angeles County of Museum Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Ilias Lalaounis Jewelry Museum in Athens, Greece, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, the Museum of Arts and Design, and the National Museum of Sweden.
