**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, table mirrors, hand mirror, pencil cases, jewelry box, 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. **You can come any time between 15:30 and 20:00 (please message me if you are coming after 15:30)**. Each item takes approximately **60 minutes** to complete (**15–30 minutes if you are fast)**, depending on the level of detail. The **price starts at 26 CHF per item**, which includes **1 color of decoden cream** and **20 charms**. All materials are provided, so you can simply show up and start creating. If you want to decorate a specific item, you can also bring it with you. Please note that the decoden glue needs time to dry. It 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.

!!!THE EVENT IS NOT BOOKABLE VIA Meetup Book Club - Valentine’s Edition 💕 Our Book Club is a cozy monthly meet-up where we read, share, and talk about books together in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Usually, we choose one specific book per month, read it individually, and then meet to discuss it over coffee, tea, and good conversations. 💌 For this Valentine’s Edition, we’re switching things up a little: Instead of one fixed book, you’re welcome to read any book within the romance genre - contemporary romance, romantasy, dark romance, YA, or a classic love story. How it works: • Pick and read a romance book of your choice • On the meeting day, come dressed in pink or red • Bring a small snack or drink to share • We’ll talk about what we read, exchange thoughts, and leave with lots of new book recommendations (and a little extra love 🥰) Need inspiration? Here are a few ideas: • Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen • Before I Let Go - Kennedy Ryan • The Seven Year Slip - Ashley Poston This special format is all about warmth, connection, and celebrating love - in books and beyond 💕 *** Hey girl, Just fyi Playhard is a members-only social club for girls 25-35ish in Zurich.
