  • luxury gifting 
  • PR moments

Creating a positive sentiment, turning first-time buyers into brand advocates.  The beauty of the oyster lies not only in its organic aethetic beauty... the oyster will likely become a trinket tray for rings and be seen at touch points daily in your customers life. That's powerful. 


Corporate Events

As an alternative to the 'forced fun' and 'created vulnerability and pressure' of yester-year, an oyster experience combined with a long, leisurely lunch  creates a softer way for colleagues to connect. 

  • Inclusive rather than peformative
  • A softer creative experience allows different personalities to participate equally: introverts, senior leadership, neurodivergent and mixed-age groups 
  • Nobody has to 'win'. Nobody is put on the spot.  

The atmosphere safe and genial - allowing authentic connection to blossom across creative activity, food and wine.

Hotel guests linger longer when there’s an experience unfolding. Oyster workshops are a luxury creative experiences, that increase secondary revenue and elevate the guest experience. Pair with:

  • champagne or prosecco 
  • afternoon tea 
  • cocktails 
  • spa packages 
  • seafood nights  


And yoga studios increasingly offer more than yoga - such as sound baths, womens circles and cacoa ceramonies.

  • Reimagining oysters with decoupage and gilding is a mindful practice and becomes active meditation within this environment.   
  • Very much a creative ritual experience working with Mother Nature's gift to us.
