Coffee, Cake, 'n' Craft - Bling My Thing in New Romney, Kent
Description
Sometimes a single thoughtful detail is all it takes to see something anew. This indulgent and uplifting workshop is an invitation to rediscover the beauty in items you already own, transforming them through the art of foil gilding, embellishment and carefully considered decorative finishes. The session centres on creative transformation. With expert guidance, you will explore a range of lustrous foils, surface treatments and embellishing techniques designed to add depth, texture and a sense of quiet drama. Whether your instinct is to enhance an item with subtle elegance or embrace a bolder, more expressive style, the process is entirely led by your own creative vision. Designed to feel both playful and empowering, the workshop welcomes complete beginners and confident makers alike. The atmosphere is relaxed and encouraging, with small group sizes allowing space to experiment freely and enjoy the process without pressure. As part of our Coffee, Cake, ’n’ Craft series, the experience blends creativity with sociable ease, offering time to slow down, connect and create something genuinely distinctive. All tools and materials are provided; you simply bring the item you wish to reimagine.
