Grow + Make: Everything is Jewelry!

Saturday, August 15, 2026 10:30am-12:30pm San Francisco County Fair Building — Garden Club Room About the Program Registration includes all materials. If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers — or foliage, or twigs, or seedpods, or cuttings! Everything is Jewelry offers a way of seeing the world through a fabulously accessorized lens, finding fashion inspo and DIY opportunities in everyday things. In this creative, hands-on session, you’ll: learn basic techniques for assembling brooches, earrings, necklaces, and more; get familiar with the component parts (findings) that bring everything together; and make at least three unique pieces from fresh and dried botanicals, and other mix-and-match materials. About the Grow + Make Series This is part three of a four-part Grow + Make series led by Carey and Jordan this year. They are standalone sessions, but each will build on the last for repeat attendees. Stay tuned for upcoming classes: • 12/5/26: Grow + Make: Botanical Print Cards and Presses — Learn to print holiday cards with fresh leaves and flowers, and put together a portable plant press to keep or gift!
