Floral Beauties
with Anne Tomlin
There are few things more enchanting than discovering the secrets of silk flower-making while surrounded by the colours and treasures of the Au Ver à Soie showroom in Paris. Join us for a very special week, where silk, flowers and haute couture come together in a celebration of craft and savoir-faire. Guided by the wonderfully talented artist Anne Tomlin, author of Making Silk Flowers, you will learn to create delicate, lifelike sprigs of lily of the valley, a flower that speaks to the heart of French.
Only 10 places are available on the Floral Beauties retreat. Please register your interest by October 25th to apply for your spot on this immersive journey of craft and beauty.
Discover the ateliers, exhibitions, and traditional suppliers that form part of Paris’s extraordinary textile story with Rebecca. From working with exquisite silks to stepping behind the scenes of some of Paris’ most fascinating craft traditions, this will be a week of creativity, making, learning, exploring and, bien sûr, inspiration.
