Costa del Sol creativity: Estepona business takes handmade crafts online

A creative business on the Costa del Sol is taking its handmade crafts beyond the workshop table with the launch of a new online shop selling decorative seashell creations, DIY kits and gifts.

Jewels & Matcha, which has previously organised jewellery and seashell workshops on the Costa del Sol, is now offering customers the chance to explore their creativity at home. The business was previously featured by EWN when it launched its jewellery workshop business on the Costa del Sol.

Perfect DIY works ideal for Christmas

One of the products available is a seashell art DIY kit. It contains natural shells, paintbrushes, decoupage glue, decorative napkins and gold and pearlescent paints, giving buyers the materials needed to create their own coastal-inspired decorations.

Customers can choose between nautical and floral designs, while those who would rather buy something ready-made can browse the collection of handmade coastal creations, DIY kits and gifts.

The online shop is part of a wider range of creative experiences offered by the business, including private sessions for birthdays, hen parties, corporate gatherings, hotels and wellness retreats.

There are also two public workshops scheduled at BYOKO in Estepona this weekend. On Saturday, November 14, participants can make three pieces of jewellery using beads, pearls, gemstones and charms. The following day, a seashell art session will introduce participants to decoupage, decorative details and gold accents, with four finished pieces planned.

Learning something different to gift

Both workshops offer an opportunity to try something different while learning practical creative skills in a relaxed setting.

Jewels & Matcha is hoping its online collection will appeal to people who enjoy handmade decorations, want to try a new hobby or are looking for unusual gifts.

Ashleigh, one of the attendees from a previous workshop said, “This is so worth it! You get to create three unique pieces of jewellery, a bracelet, a necklace, and a pair of earrings. Such a relaxing, mindful experience, and I am actually really proud of my little creations.”

The new shop, workshop information and private booking enquiries are available through Jewels & Matcha.
