🪵 What’s Included:

✨ Choose either the Gin bottle or Shells workshop to do and all you'll need to bring is yourself.

✨Choose the Bric-a-Brac or Shoes workshop and you'll be asked to bring your own Bric-a-Brac item or pair of shoes you want to up-cycle and then all the materials to make your brought in piece. You'll have access to a wide selection of other materials including paints, papers, stamps etc, and rustic embellishments — allowing you to create a truly unique inspired design.

Everything you need to bring your piece to life will be provided, along with gentle guidance to help you layer, decorate, and personalise your piece.
