French Embroidery Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Activity

Guided by Décembre Haute Couture, this day-long workshop reveals the full journey of crafting an anemone brooch – from hand-dyeing silk and shaping petals with heated tools to adding fine beadwork that brings depth and movement.

Each step reflects patience and precision, echoing the timeless artistry of Parisian couture houses. Colour, rhythm and texture intertwine as an intimate dialogue between maker and material, offering a moment of stillness where craftsmanship becomes meditation.

By the end of the workshop, every participant will hold a one-of-a-kind anemone brooch – an emblem of individuality, grace and the quiet strength of handmade art.
