Coffee and Creations was launched in 2005. Once a month on a Thursday in Bellevue (GE), this English-speaking workshop gives you the opportunity to use your creative skills in a fun and friendly environment. During each two-hour session, you can try your hand at a new "creation", applying a wide range of techniques. You can be sure of a warm welcome with a home-baked treat provided each month with your tea or coffee!

Join this special black paper decoupage workshop - a typical Swiss craft named scherenschnitte - that will hopefully give you the perfect souvenir from Switzerland and inspire you to create your own! Click here for more information.
Painted doormats were created in March 2010
Here are some comments from the participants:
“I have never been creative or artistic in my life, but your coffee and creation mornings are wonderful. Such lovely ladies and a very pleasant morning spent in wonderful surroundings.”
"C+C is my 5-star spa each month!"
“It was a great pleasure joining the group in your great space with immense resources (still curious how/where you store stuff). And you - you are so amazingly competent, creative and organized! I am so impressed.”
“My husband said the jewelry I made today looked great with my dress and like I paid a lot of money for it!”
“I always am amazed at how we all take a single concept and come up with different and amazing ‘takes’ on it.”
“The only feedback I can really give you is that I wish you could do more than one a month! It is a constant source of inspiration for me.”
