About this Event

Turn trash into treasure and overlooked objects into art.

Celebrate Earth Day with a creative twist during Upcycle Week – Earth Day Edition
at Cain’s Creative Chaos! This week is all about giving new life to old, forgotten, and unexpected items by transforming them into one-of-a-kind artwork.

Instead of using a traditional canvas, you’ll create on upcycled and unconventional surfaces such as:

  • Vinyl records, wood pieces, tiles, and boxes
  • Trays, mirrors, jars, and functional objects
  • Found objects, recycled materials, and surprise surfaces

Use paint, resin, sea glass, costume jewelry, natural elements, trinkets, and mixed media techniques to build something uniquely yours. Whether you create abstract art, wall décor, functional pieces, or textured assemblages, this week celebrates creativity without limits.

We’ll provide a wide selection of upcycled materials, embellishments, and tools—and our instructors are available to guide you as much or as little as you’d like.

💡 Bring your own item to use as your surface and save $5!
Old records, trays, wood scraps, mirrors, boxes, or meaningful objects all make great foundations for new art.

Perfect for creative thinkers, experimental artists, and anyone who loves a little creative chaos while doing something good for the planet.
Pricing

$30 per person – all studio materials included
$5 discount if you bring your own item to upcycle

Feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks.
Alcohol is permitted for ages 21 & up.
