Decoden arts and crafts workshop. The one and only in NL! Japanese k-pop

Hi everyone!
We are the one and only Decoden workshop experience in the whole of the Netherlands!

Decoden is a Japanese art form where you decorate objects with fake cream and cute gems and charms.Decoden is a short form of "Decorate DenWa" which means decorate mobile phone.

Typically phone cases are elaborately covered with a fake plastic whipped cream to look like real cake icing and then embellished with cute charms, gems and jewels and finished with colourful sprinkle and glitter.

You can do decoden on any object you like and we offer 4 options.
Date:
Usually the first Saturday of every month.
Please note we are also available for private birthday parties and corporate events.

Workshop Description:

The workshop takes about 2-3 hours, depending on the item you want to decorate.

All equipment, materials and instructions are included.

The workshop will start with an introduction and then you will select your charms and coloured creams. We will instruct you on how to design and plan your decoration on paper first. You will then make you artworks and decorate it with charms.

Once complete we will place your artwork in a box and you will then take it home to dry.
Drying time usually take 3-5 days.

The workshop is a fun and relaxing afternoon of hands on art and craft. We will provide some soft drinks and snacks and also play j-pop and k-pop music.
