Join us for a guest artist workshop with Riley Rouse at Paulina Otero Studios on Saturday, March 21st from 11-1:30pm.

In this hands on creative session, you’ll design and create your own one of a kind bag charm using a curated mix of paracord, acrylic, ceramic, and metal charms, along with chain, beads, and carabiners. Riley will guide you through basic knotting and beading techniques, empowering you to craft a piece that feels personal, expressive, and uniquely yours.

Whether you’re drawn to bold statement pieces or subtle layered details, this workshop offers the space to experiment, play, and explore texture and form. All materials are provided!

About the Artist

Riley is a sculptor and multimedia artist based in Kansas City, MO. Her work explores the emotional connections we form with everyday objects, using ceramics, satire, and shifts in scale to question how value and meaning are assigned. Blending playfulness with psychological depth, her pieces reflect a wide spectrum of human experience — from intimacy and desire to frustration and grief.

Come create, connect, and leave with a handmade accessory that reflects your individual style.
