Turn an ordinary oyster shell into a glossy, elegant keepsake you’ll actually use — a jewellery dish, trinket tray, bedside catch-all, or a beautiful little gift.
In this relaxed evening workshop, you’ll learn the satisfying art of oyster-shell decoupage: layering carefully chosen fabrics and papers onto real shells, sealing them to a smooth, durable finish, and adding those final details that make them look boutique-worthy. It’s creative without being complicated — perfect if you want a mindful, hands-on activity and something gorgeous to take home at the end.
You’ll be guided step-by-step through the process, including:
- How to prep and work with natural oyster shells
- Choosing and placing fabric/paper designs so they look balanced and professional
- Decoupage techniques for a smooth finish (no bubbles, wrinkles, or lifting edges)
- Sealing and finishing tips for shine and longevity
- Optional embellishments (depending on what’s available) to elevate your piece
You’ll make at least one finished oyster shell dish (many guests manage more than one, depending on pace and design choices). No experience is needed — just come as you are, enjoy the process, and leave with something unique.
To make it extra special, your ticket includes a free glass of prosecco on arrival
