Join Heike Taschner Jeske for a half-day workshop on the art of floral adornment on Sunday, 19 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.

What to Expect

  • Expert guidance on sculptural embellishment techniques using floral inspiration
  • Connection with fellow creatives
  • Tools and materials included
  • Jewellry and other bases provided for the embellishments
  • You will walk away with your unique made sculptural jewellery piece
  • Included in this workshop is a coffee and rose inspired pastry break
