Afternoon Tea & Sea Glass Art Workshop Mayo | Workshop in Newport |

Mayo, a rugged coast in Ireland, offers much more than its scenic landscapes—here, art and ocean collide in an engaging workshop that combines creativity with coastal charm. Every Saturday, this vibrant experience invites visitors to indulge in homemade treats while crafting stunning sea glass art. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artisan, the session offers a relaxing, therapeutic environment where the calming sea breeze fuels your imagination. Nestled along the Atlantic, Mayo’s shoreline is dotted with smooth, weathered glass fragments washed in from decades of shipwrecks and fishing. During the workshop, participants select their favorite sea glass, then turn these ocean-smoothed treasures into personalized art pieces—jewelry, décor, or keepsakes. This hands-on activity showcases the area’s natural beauty and history, emphasizing sustainable practices by repurposing ocean debris into art. The studio’s welcoming ambiance is perfect for friends and families seeking a creative getaway that celebrates Mayo’s maritime heritage. Since the activity combines local craftsmanship with environmental appreciation, it stands out as a meaningful way to connect with Ireland’s coast. Beyond the artistic aspect, the workshop is an excellent introduction to Mayo’s cultural traditions and the stories behind the ocean’s treasures. Visitors often remark on how this intimate experience deepens their appreciation for the area’s natural environment and artistic spirit, making it a standout activity in the region. Open to all skill levels, the workshop promises a memorable, hands-on encounter with Mayo’s seaside character—an essential stop for travelers craving authentic Irish artistry and coastal charm.
