Elfie & Tolu’s Arctic Bling Studio
- New House Art Space Fays Passage Guildford, England, GU1 4SQ United Kingdom (map)
Elfie & Tolu’s Arctic Bling studio is an intimate, interactive experience dedicated to upcycling, personalizing, and elevating your textiles through the magic of rhinestones.
How It Works
1. Dream up your design
The magic begins before we even gather! Once you secure your spot, you’ll have a consultation with Tolu to dream up your custom design. Whether you want a subtle dusting of sparkle on a collar, a brilliant velvety inscription, or a bold motif, we will map it out together. This allows us to perfectly prep your materials and ensure Elfie's premium Arctic rhinestones are ready and waiting just for you.
2. Bring it to life
On the day of the event, roll up your sleeves! This isn't a drop-off service, it’s a hands-on collaboration. Tolu will share her expert know-how, guiding you step-by-step through the application. We will work side-by-side at the table, and you'll learn the techniques to bring your vision to life with your own hands.
What to Bring
Wearable Memories: Faded denim jackets, well-loved cardigans, cozy winter scarves, canvas totes, or holiday stockings that need a seasonal refresh.
Blank Canvases: Plain t-shirts, brand-new sweaters, or pristine items that you want to personalize into an unforgettable gift for someone special.
Why Join Us?
This is an intimate gathering designed for true connection; a celebration of slow fashion, sustainable upcycling, and the pure joy of making things beautiful. Expect a warm, festive atmosphere filled with good music, shared stories, and the brilliant energy of breathing new life into the things we love.
