Decoden art and crafts workshop. Make cute mirrors and photoframes cream glue
About the event
Details: Hi everyone! This is the first ever Decoden workshop experience in Amsterdam!
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 will offer 4 options.
Date: Workshops are on the Second Sunday of every month at 1:30pm.
Workshop Description: The workshop takes about 2-3 hours depending on the item you want to decorate.
All equipment, materials and instructions is 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 2-3 days.
The workshop is a fun and relaxing afternoon of hands on art and craft.
It wil be a fun time of crafting, laughing and chatting with people in a nice environment with an excellent soundtrack.
Please bring a carrying bag to take home your art work. An apron and gloves are provided but it is recommended to wear old or dark coloured clothes as the decoden cream can stain clothes.
