Beautiful Oyster Shell Decoration Workshop

Patch, York, Terry Ave, York, YO1 6FA
Transform oyster shells into stunning decorations - perfect for branches, Christmas trees or adorning gifts. Learn simple techniques to create unique, handmade keepsakes.

These creative sessions offer more than just a craft project - they bring:
Mindful Breaks: A chance to pause from the rush, focus on making and enjoy the process.
New Skills: Learn hands-on techniques in jewellery design, decorative crafts and mixed media - no prior experience needed.
Creativity & Self-Expression: Choose materials, colours and styles that reflect your taste.
Connection & Community: Meet others interested in art and design, share inspiration and be part of something joyful.
Something to Keep or Give: A handmade item to wear, display or gift - more meaningful than anything off the shelf present.
Supportive Cause: With the Smart Works Leeds workshop, your creativity also supports women returning to employment.

Natalia Willmott explained: “Creativity is a wonderful way to bring joy into our lives, especially during the festive season. My workshops are designed to give people a moment to pause, play, and connect - while learning something new and leaving with a piece they can truly treasure.”
