About the Instructor
Charlene Damion is a retired audiologist and mother of 2 adult children who has become a shell fanatic since moving to Pine Point 5 years ago, where she  learned to decoupage shells. She gets the clam/quahog shells from Pine Point Beach and the oysters from local markets. Other shells she finds on the islands in southwest Florida or sources from various places. She loves to find interesting shell fragments and turn them into something beautiful, thinking of it as giving shells their "second act."
