Creative Experience Embellishment Cafe

Garden Overview
The Garden is where everyday objects are transformed into artful keepsakes. Guests choose a base piece and elevate it through guided embellishment using curated materials, textures, and details. Each creation is personal, expressive, and beautifully finished.

Create Without Rush
Your time in the Garden is designed to feel spacious and calm. Guests are encouraged to move at a natural pace, layering details and textures until their piece feels complete.
Through The Looking Glass
Embellished Glassware
Elegant, slightly mysterious, and perfectly on-theme. This one feels timeless and literary without being kitschy.
Glassware becomes something luminous and artful through layered embellishment and reflective detail. Each piece plays with light, texture, and imagination, transforming the ordinary into something quietly magical.
Madly Adored
Hat Embellishment Experience
Maddly Adored is a celebration of individuality, imagination, and wearable art. In this experience, guests transform hats into statement pieces through thoughtful embellishment, layered texture, and guided creative design.
Each hat begins as a simple form and becomes something expressive and unexpected. Guests are encouraged to explore detail, balance, and personal style, creating pieces that feel bold without being loud, whimsical without being costume. The result is a hat that feels intentional, artful, and unmistakably yours.
Madly Adorned invites curiosity, confidence, and a little playful rebellion. These are pieces meant to be worn, noticed, and loved.
Carry Me Lovely
Purse Embellishment Experience
Carry Me Lovely invites guests to transform purses into artful companions through layered embellishment and thoughtful design. In this experience, function meets beauty as each piece becomes a canvas for texture, detail, and personal expression.
Guests are guided in adorning their purse with curated elements that elevate its form while preserving its purpose. The process is unhurried and intuitive, allowing each creation to unfold naturally. No two pieces are alike, and each one reflects the style and story of its maker.
These are not accessories meant to blend in. Carry Me Lovely creations are designed to be worn confidently, carried often, and treasured for years to come.
Bound & Becoming
Journal Cover Embellishment Experience
Bound & Becoming is an invitation to begin. In this experience, guests create embellished journal covers designed to hold thoughts, dreams, and stories yet to unfold. Through layered texture, thoughtful detail, and guided design, each cover becomes both personal and symbolic.
The process is gentle and intentional, allowing guests to slow down and create with meaning. Every element is chosen with care, resulting in a cover that feels expressive before a single word is written inside.
Bound & Becoming honors the beauty of beginnings and the quiet power of becoming.
Pretty Little Rituals
Beauty Bar Experience
Pretty Little Rituals celebrates the small, meaningful moments we return to each day. In this experience, guests embellish beauty tools, mirrors, and accessories while also creating custom lip gloss blends, transforming everyday routines into moments of beauty and intention.
From adorning brushes and mirrors to blending glosses and finishing their presentation, guests are guided through a playful yet polished process. Each detail is designed to feel indulgent, expressive, and personal.
The result is a collection of artful beauty pieces made to be used often, admired quietly, and enjoyed fully. Because rituals, when made beautiful, become something we look forward to.
Confectionery Curios
Confectionery Curios is a whimsical celebration of imagination and detail. Guests create hyper-detailed faux desserts that look delightfully real while remaining purely decorative. Through thoughtful embellishment and layered design, each piece becomes a charming visual delight.
These creations are made to be admired, displayed, and enjoyed as art. Sweet in appearance, playful in spirit, and always a little magical
Out of The Looking Frame
Dimensional Canvas Art Experience
Out of the Looking Frame invites guests to create three-dimensional works of art that rise beyond the surface of the canvas and move into space. Using layered materials, sculptural elements, and guided design, each piece becomes a visual story that quite literally steps forward.
This experience encourages curiosity and bold expression. Guests build depth, texture, and movement, allowing imagery to emerge organically from the frame. The result is a striking, wall-ready piece that feels immersive, expressive, and entirely one of a kind.
Out of the Looking Frame is art that refuses to stay flat. It’s meant to be seen, felt, and lived with.
ARTZY Crafty Cafe Experience
The Artzy Café Craft Experience is a creative space designed for everyone—kids, teens, adults, families, and curious souls of all kinds. It’s where open crafting, guided workshops, and intentional classes all live under one warm, imaginative roof.
Some guests come for relaxed, café-style open crafting—choosing a project, settling in, and letting creativity unfold at their own pace. Others join us for guided workshops, multi-hour experiences, or skill-building classes designed with care, structure, and inspiration. Families create side by side. Youth explore independence and confidence. Adults reconnect with creativity in a way that feels playful, grounding, and refreshingly pressure-free.
No matter how you enter the Artzy experience, the heart is the same:
thoughtful materials, a cozy and inspiring environment, gentle guidance when needed, and space to truly enjoy the process of making.
Artzy is not about rushing, perfection, or performance.
It’s about curiosity, expression, connection, and leaving with something you’re proud of—whether that’s a finished piece, a new skill, or simply a full creative cup.
