One kid’s trash is another kid’s masterpiece! Join teaching artist Anna Nielsen of Rubbish Reborn for an afternoon mini camp all about turning everyday discarded materials into something totally new. Campers will craft and create with recycled and repurposed materials, learn new techniques, and let their own ideas come to life.
Anna is a lifelong reader, crafter, and food enthusiast with an insatiable curiosity about how things work. She has spent much of her career exploring nearly every corner of food service, from prep cook and banquet service to restaurant management and pastry chef. After having kids, her focus shifted toward home cooking and food preservation, while her passion for feeding mind, body, and soul expanded to her family and community. When she isn’t thinking about, making, or eating food, Anna can usually be found with her family and cat or creating whimsical trinkets, jewelry, and other things that sparkle from reclaimed and found materials.
