Paint it, Wear it, and take a piece of Curaçao home.
You won’t just make art here, you’ll leave wearing it!
The Art of Rebirth is a hands-on calabash painting workshop where you paint your own piece from scratch and walk out wearing it. Choose your style: earrings, a pendant, a bracelet, or a keychain. Paint your design, and leave with a finished, wearable creation that tells the story of this exact day on Curaçao. No art experience needed and no two pieces ever look the same.
The calabash is more than a fruit here. It’s a symbol of transformation and evolution. It gets hollowed out, shaped, and reimagined into something entirely new, and so can we. Every time life breaks us down, we have the power to come back harder, stronger, and more beautiful than before. That’s the art of rebirth. And today, you get to paint yours.
Held at the beautiful outdoor venue La Hacienda Olivia (Kaya Mila 12) in Banda Ariba, Curaçao, this 1.5 to 2 hour experience is one part cultural journey, one part creative workshop, and one part wearable souvenir, all in one.
You’ll choose your earring style, paint your design, and leave with a finished, wearable piece of art that tells the story of this exact day.

The keychain is your canvas in its most portable form. A single calabash disc, painted entirely your way, finished and ready to hang from your keys, your bag, or wherever you want a little piece of Curaçao close by. Perfect for every guest — men, kids, couples, or anyone who wants a meaningful handmade souvenir without the commitment of jewelry. One hour, one piece, yours forever. Takes home: A handpainted calabash keychain. |
A single calabash disc, painted by your hand and finished on a chain so you can wear it immediately. Delicate enough for every day, meaningful enough to become your favorite piece. The pendant is for the guest who wants to carry the story of Curaçao against their skin — a quiet, wearable reminder of the day they created something from nothing. Takes home: A handpainted calabash pendant on a chain, ready to wear. |
One calabash disc, painted in your colors, finished on a bracelet chain. Every time you move your hand you’ll see it — a small, beautiful reminder of the afternoon you spent painting in Curaçao. The bracelet is for the guest who wants something tactile and wearable, something that travels home with them and becomes part of their daily story. Takes home: A handpainted calabash bracelet on a chain, ready to wear. |
The classic calabash stud is your canvas in its purest form. A single, beautifully prepped calabash disc that you’ll paint entirely your own way. Clean and classic — paint your story, and leave wearing a piece of Curaçao you made with your own hands. Takes home: A pair of handpainted calabash stud earrings. |
The same classic stud with a little more canvas and a little more presence. Slightly larger disc, same clean finish. Choose medium for a look that stands out without going full statement. Paint it, wear it, and let it speak for you. Takes home: A pair of handpainted calabash stud earrings — medium size. |
The dangle is for the guest who wants their earrings to say something when they walk into a room. A medium calabash piece, prepped and ready for your design, finished with a gentle swing that catches the light. Paint it, wear it, and let it tell the story of the day you created something from nothing. Takes home: A pair of handpainted calabash dangle earrings. |
The Statement is our most layered experience — two calabash pieces connected as one earring. A stud base with a second calabash piece flowing beneath it, giving you twice the canvas and twice the creative freedom. If you want to go bold, this is your style. Each piece you paint becomes part of a wearable art moment that is completely, unmistakably yours. Takes home: A pair of handpainted calabash statement earrings. |
