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!

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.”
