About this Experience

What you'll do:

You and your group gather around a table while Shark Eye Designs brings everything to you — shells, supplies, guidance, and a design menu — and you each walk away with a custom oyster shell ornament or trinket tray you made yourself.

  • Your shell, your design: Choose from a curated library of pre-made coastal prints or request a fully custom design tailored to your party theme, color palette, or occasion.

  • Sustainably sourced materials: Every oyster shell is recycled from local seafood restaurants, then cleaned and prepped by Shark Eye Designs before arriving at your door.

  • Step-by-step guidance included: A Shark Eye host walks your group through the full process from start to finish, so no one is left staring at a blank shell wondering what to do.

  • One piece included, more available: Each guest creates one ornament or trinket tray as part of the booking, with the option to add extra pieces during the session.

  • Zero cleanup on your end: Shark Eye handles full setup and breakdown, so your space looks exactly the same when they leave as it did when they arrived.

This is a craft session that moves at your pace, fits inside your living room, and produces something guests actually want to keep. Groups who book custom designs in advance get the most out of it, so reach out early if you have a specific theme in mind.

Why you'd love it for your group:

  1. No skill required: Truly beginner-friendly, this is designed so that everyone at the table can participate and finish with something they're proud of.

  2. Built for bachelorettes and birthdays: The coastal aesthetic and customizable design options make it a natural fit for celebratory occasions with a personal touch.

  3. It travels to you: No venue to book, no Uber to coordinate — the mobile shell art workshop comes to wherever your group is already gathered.

  4. Creative and social at the same time: The guided format gives guests something to focus on while still leaving plenty of room for conversation and celebration.

  5. A takeaway guests will actually use: Oyster shell ornaments and trinket trays are display-worthy keepsakes, not something that ends up in a drawer by Tuesday.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any crafting experience?

Not at all. This experience is completely beginner-friendly. We guide you step-by-step, and our pre-made designs make it easy for anyone to create something beautiful.

Can we request custom designs for our party?

Yes—customization is one of our specialties. We can create personalized prints to match your theme, event, or guest of honor. Just contact us in advance so we can design something unique for your group.

Where do the oyster shells come from?

All shells are sustainably sourced from local seafood restaurants. We thoroughly clean and prep each one ahead of time so they’re ready for a seamless crafting experience.

How many ornaments does each guest make?

Each guest creates one ornament, but you can absolutely add additional pieces if you’d like to make a set or give extras as gifts. Just contact us through our webpage.

What do you provide vs. what do we need to bring?

We bring everything needed—shells, materials, tools, setup, and cleanup. If additional seating is required, we can also provide tables and seating for up to 8 people. Otherwise, you just provide the space, your drinks/snacks, and your group.
