HRAP jewelry line turns trash into treasure
CANNON BEACH — The Haystack
Rock Awareness Program has
created a wearable art jewelry
line, crafted from marine debris,
named “Trash Talk,” meant to
support the program and spark
conversations that lead to more
environmental stewardship.
Frequently, people ask how
they can assist the program’s
efforts beyond volunteering or
donating financially. This new
project is a way for anybody to
support HRAP on their own time.
Nearly every beach in the world
has microplastic landfall. Partici-
pants in this project are invited to
collect microplastics (small plastic
trash that washes up on our beach-
es) and donate it to our program to
be repurposed into jewelry.

This jewelry line — wearable art
fashioned from marine debris —
supports the Haystack Rock Aware-
ness Program.
Not into collecting beach
debris? Not a problem! We are
also accepting donations of old or
broken jewelry that will be reused
in these new pieces.
Microplastic collections and
old, broken jewelry should be
placed in a bag or container and
left in the garbage bin labeled
“Haystack Rock Awareness
Program Marine Debris,” located
at the back entrance of Cannon
Beach City Hall next to the dump-
ster.
In your bag, please include
your contact information so
we can send you a “thank you”
and a small wearable bottle filled
with some of the marine debris.
One gallon of beach debris is suf-
ficient material to host two to five
workshops, make more than 30
pieces of jewelry or one 12-inch
by 12-inch art piece.
The art and jewelry can now
be purchased online through
the Friends of Haystack Rock’s
new Etsy shop. Find it at etsy.
com/shop/HRAPTrashTalk or by
searching “HRAPTrashTalk” at
Etsy.com.
A selection of specialty pieces
is also being sold through the
Cannon Beach Art Gallery.
The funding received through
this project supports HRAP’s
ongoing efforts to provide
high-quality STEM, STEAM and
Citizen Science programs, and to
spread awareness to visitors.

Taught by instructor
Heather McLaughlin,
“Drawing as Seeing: The
Figure, Nude & Costume”
is part of the Sou’wester’s
ongoing fall-winter work-
shop series.
Drawing is a way of
seeing, a way of understand-
ing and an exercise. This
workshop will use the hu-
man figure to explore spatial
relationships, composition,
contours and values.
During this workshop, the
students will complete multi-
ple small drawings and one
long pose using traditional
materials such as charcoal
and conte crayon.
The class will start with
nude gestures and short nude
poses. The final pose will
be costumed. We will cover
techniques for recording
scale, light and shapes while
practicing mark-making
techniques and sharpening
