Creative Decoden with Charms in Zürich
### Decoden Workshop – Decorate with Charms and Color
In the **Decoden Workshop**, you’ll explore a playful and creative decorating technique that turns everyday objects into unique, colorful accessories. Decoden is a popular craft style that uses creamy decorative glue, bright colors, and cute charms to create fun, eye-catching designs. This workshop is perfect for anyone who loves creativity, decoration, and hands-on crafting.
During the workshop, you can decorate a variety of items such as **picture frames, mirrors, pencil cases, or small accessories**. You choose the object, the color of the decoden cream, and your favorite charms to match your personal style. Whether you prefer a cute, bold, or minimal look, every piece becomes a one-of-a-kind creation.
The workshop is **beginner-friendly** and no prior experience is required. You will be guided step by step through the entire process, from applying the decoden cream to placing the charms securely. Tips and tricks will be shared to help you create a balanced and beautiful design. Individual support is available throughout the session, so you can work at your own pace.
Each item takes approximately **15–30 minutes** to complete, depending on the level of detail. The **price starts at 25 CHF per item**, which includes one color of decoden cream and **20 charms**. All materials are provided, so you can simply show up and start creating.
Please note that the decoden glue needs time to dry. It becomes stable after about **2 hours** and fully cures overnight. You may leave your finished piece at the studio for safe drying and collect it later, or carefully take it home with you.
The Decoden Workshop is suitable for **children and adults**, making it a fun activity to enjoy solo, with friends, or as a creative break. If you love crafting cute, personalized accessories, this workshop is the perfect place to start.

Swimming in the Limmat
Hello dear Challengers,
if you wish to join the Limmat swim and strengthen your body, join me to that swim. I will give you a short introduction on the "why" you should do it and then you will tell me if you want to do it. I am a trained lifeguard (SLRG), I did also the Hypothermia Module and I am swimming in the cold since 2015.
Take with you all the necessary to swim, flip/flop, safe buoy (something like the orange donut here below, if you have it) and a Thermos.

See you there!

Creative Valentine's Day Special
On **February 14th,** we'll celebrate Valentine's Day in a creative way – with time for each other, shared moments, and something homemade. This day is for couples who want to experience Valentine's Day consciously: calmly, personally, and without the typical Valentine's Day stress.
Between **10:00 AM and 8:00 PM,** you are warmly invited to come by together and create your own unique date time. There's no set program – you decide when you come, and what you want to do. This Valentine's Day is yours.
You can choose from various creative activities:
* **Decoding – 1 item each**
* **Punch Needle Portrait – create a tufted portrait individually**
* **Coloring – relaxing, calming and connecting**
You can focus on one technique or try several. No prior knowledge is necessary – materials and instructions are provided; the focus is on the shared experience and the joy of doing.
The atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and respectful. Soft music, creative materials, and a tranquil setting invite you to take time for one another, to talk, and to create something together. Whether you unleash your creativity, laugh, chat, or simply work side by side – anything goes, nothing is obligatory.
**Duration:**
**Max 2 hours**
**Good to know:**
If you choose to do decoden , it will need to leave your masterpiece . You can either carefully take your piece home or leave it with me and pick it up later once it is completely dry.
Valentine **'s Day on February 14th** is an invitation to consciously give each other time – free from expectations, but filled with creativity, closeness, and a shared experience. Come along, spend a special Valentine's Day together, and take home something handmade and beautiful memories.
ZH3 Hash #1708: Post Valentine Piss-up
Hare (someone to set the route) is One Night Wonder and Big Top. Come join us!
**Where**:
See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear.
**When:**
We'll meet at 2:00 pm to start at 2:00 pm.
There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards.
**All Welcome:**
If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know:
• We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is.
• The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun.
• 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further.
• The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
• There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
• **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards.
**Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?**
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it.
'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.*
We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.
