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:
The next workshop will be on Saturday 6th April at 1pm.
