Join Heike Taschner Jeske for a full-day workshop on the art of floral adornment, 18 October 2025

Explore botanical artistry and experience how Heike sees beyond the petals. Under Heike’s guidance, guests will unravel the essence of the rose to transform it into sculptural adornments.

This workshop invites you to explore the rose not just as a flower, but as a form, a story, and an experience, creating wearable and functional artworks.

Guided by Heike, you’ll experiment with:

Floral selection & abstraction – moving beyond realism to capture an essence of the rose.
Sculptural techniques – shaping, detailing, and finishing clay and mixed media pieces, which will be fired in the woodburning oven of the La Motte Artisanal Bakery.

Whether you’re an experienced artist or a curious beginner, this hands-on session offers a space to sculpt, imagin,e and be ‘rose’d’ in a world where nature meets art.

● Expert guidance on sculptural embellishment techniques using floral inspiration
