Shells & Chardonnay: Uva Wine Bar Hosts Unique Decoupage Workshop in Mashpee

by | Mar 14, 2025

Cape Cod residents seeking a blend of creativity and relaxation can look forward to a unique evening at Uva Wine Bar in Mashpee Commons. The “Decoupage Oyster Shell Trinket Dishes” workshop, hosted by Tides and Co, promises attendees a chance to transform recycled local oyster shells into decorative keepsakes while enjoying wines in an inviting atmosphere. This event combines artistic expression with social enjoyment, allowing participants to create personalized coastal mementos in the company of friends and family.

What to Expect 

Set to take place at the Mashpee Commons wine establishment, the workshop welcomes crafters of all experience levels. Participants will select three oyster shells and choose from various nautical printed designs to apply through the decoupage technique. Adding an elegant touch, crafters will finish their creations with gold trim detailing. The 90-minute session shows the growing trend of experience-based social gatherings that combine creative activities with food enjoyment, creating memorable moments beyond traditional restaurant or bar visits.

The Experience 

The decoupage workshop guides attendees through a step-by-step creative process, making the craft accessible to beginners while offering enough artistic flexibility to engage experienced crafters. Tides and Co, the event organizer, specializes in bringing these hands-on coastal-themed activities to Cape Cod venues. The recycled oyster shells used in the workshop reflect a commitment to sustainability while celebrating the region’s maritime heritage. Upon completion, participants will leave with three handcrafted trinket dishes that can serve as personal mementos or thoughtful, locally-inspired gifts.

Uva Wine Bar’s atmosphere provides the perfect backdrop for this creative endeavor. Attendees are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes early to select their materials, find comfortable seating, and order from the venue’s menu of wines, charcuterie boards, and flatbreads. This preliminary time allows participants to settle in and begin enjoying the social aspect of the evening before the guided crafting begins. The combination of artistic creation and culinary enjoyment makes this event a distinctive alternative to traditional night-out options in Mashpee.
