Brilliant ReUse
Metal Arts Guild Members Transform Recycled Materials into Jewels

Brilliant ReUse is an educational showcase of wearable treasures made from recycled materials, sponsored by the Metal Arts Guild (MAG), on exhibit at the Maker Faire, at the San Mateo County Expo Center on May 30 & 31, 2009. The exhibition will include jewelry made from a wide variety of recycled materials including circuit boards, tape measures, LEGO®, medical surplus and food tins by MAG members Shana Astrachan, Harriete Estel-Berman, Lynn Christiansen, Luana Coonen, Christine Dhein, Aimee Golant, Kelly Nedderman, emiko oye, Willy Scholten, and Carolyn Tillie. Participating artists transformed these discarded materials and gave them new life as beautiful, wearable art.
