Workshops for Adults

Repurposed Art Workshop

I’ve been repurposing since I was a little girl, waaaay before the term became popular!  So what exactly does “repurposing” mean?  Basically, it’s just using things “previously loved” to make new items!

Do you wish you know how to repurpose?  Do you wish you were more creative?  Don’t know how to start?  If you’d like to learn how to repurpose items you normally throw away – things you might already have in your home – you’re in the right place!  I designed this workshop just for you!

Whether you’re in a city in Collin County, TX area and able to attend one of my workshops in person, OR you take one of my online tutorials, beginners will be treated to making hands-on, simple crafts, and more experienced crafters will learn the techniques I’ve learned over many years of trial and error.  And I’ll even throw in some really interesting and current environmental facts and statistics to remind us about WHY we’re repurposing.  I’ll also share some of the more intricate items I’ve made with various repurposed materials to inspire your own ideas – I want you to blossom in the repurposing world!

Testimonials

I have the most amazing network of friends and support. My good friend Casey made a button and magnets with my son's photo. She also made handmade postcards for me as well. I have ordered 50.

Casey owns Earth Inspired Crafts & Education. She is GREEN and everything she makes is repurposed from its original purpose. Casey also teaches classes for small groups.

Jill E.

Casey is an excellent, enthusiastic, and entertaining speaker who brings to life relative and education material in such a way that the kids can completely understand. She is very animated and fun during her presentation so the kids remain completely engaged and excited to the very end. The kids leave so eager to share the info with their family and friends, and I know for a fact that the kids change their own lifestyle after hearing her presentation on litter and the effects it has on our earth, our animals, and our water and food. Huge impact on the kids - they cling to every word! The visuals Casey brings with her are incredible! She certainly knows how to capture her audience and educate them at the same time.

Skaggs Elementary

Ms. Eckert was expert in knowledge and delivered in a very coherent and persuasive case on the evils of littering. She captured the students' attention from the beginning and never lost their interest in her cause. No changes should be made to the process. Props were great in highlighting key points.

Plano East High School

The students were very engaged and learned a lot. I plan to have Casey come back....excellent job...thank you!

Frankford Middle School

It was very informative and students reacted in positive way. We received many feedback (statements) from students.

Schimelpfenig Middle School

Casey was great. Held the children's attention. Talked about litter and what to do with it - recycle, throw it away - where is away? Talked about what items can be made when you recycle items. Great story!

St. Andrew CWP

Presenter was polite and calm with the children, a great role model for living "green". Very animated during the story and captured the audience! Awesome props!
