Through embroidery, fabric and light, participants are invited into the quiet elegance of French haute couture. 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, every participant will hold a one-of-a-kind anemone brooch – an emblem of individuality, grace and the quiet strength of handmade art. This presentation continues Décembre Haute Couture’s vision of bringing traditional techniques into contemporary life, celebrating the beauty of patience, time, and human touch.
