We are excited to have Lisa Schiavone as our November Artist of the Month! She will be with us for our Artist's Reception on Wednesday, November 14th from 4:00-7:00 pm. Lisa will be sharing how she makes her jewelry, from found to new!
Lisa's bio;
I happened upon my business Old Anew unexpectedly, about 10 years ago when I saw a typewriter key bracelet in a store at the Medford Outlets. A year later I was at a garage sale that had a vintage typewriter for sale and I remembered that bracelet and decided to buy it and attempt to create a bracelet for myself. Well I made one and when my girlfriends saw it, they all wanted one. Next thing you know I had orders, and now a small home based business that I love!
Today my business has branched out into a full on repurposing /recycling/upcycling business, where I transform any item I come across that I see may have a new life or purpose. I do mosaics, coffee bag pillows, cork + chalk boards, to small pieces of furniture, and vintage pieces. I love that components of my pieces could have ended up in dumpsters and landfills, but instead find a place in peoples homes and lives.
This business creating calms me and grounds me and gives me a creative outlet that I often say "keeps me sane" in this very hustle and bustle world we live in.
I currently reside in Woodbury, Minnesota with my husband John, 2 boys Jordan and Britton, and dog Josie.
