NEW YORK 2-DAY WORKSHOP
Join Quynh Nguyen on March 29 and 30, 2025, for a paper flower workshop featuring her Lilac at the Hudson Valley InterArts. Learn how to make a Lilac Branch: Purple Sensation from The New Art of Paper Flowers.
AN INVITATION TO BE CREATIVE TOGETHER
One of the first sign of Spring is the budding branches of flowering branches—let's brush off the winter chill and make a lush lilac branch with Quynh. Join me at the Hudson Valley InterArts in New York for two days and meet other creatives.
Join us for a two-day workshop to craft a flowering branch, Lilac 'Purple Sensation,' guided by Quynh.
Whether seeking new inspiration for your paper floral projects or simply longing to hang out with like-minded creatives, the Lilac Workshop is perfectly crafted to meet your needs.
WEEKEND OVERVIEW:
Day 1:
Saturday, March 29, 2025
On day one, we'll begin by exploring the lilac's intricate anatomy and the different stages of its bloom. We will work with the new 90-gsm Italian crepe paper, and I'll show you how to use this stretchy crepe to create delicate petals. Together, we will make each delicate bud from modeling clay and start hand-cutting the petals that bring this flower to life, setting the foundation for a stunning, realistic lilac creation.
Day 2:
Sunday, March 30, 2025
The final day is about assembly, where you'll bring your lilac branch to life by forming all the individual florets and learning how to seamlessly combine buds and florets into a branch for a cohesive, impactful display. You'll gain insight into creating delicate, repetitive blooms that, when assembled, make a striking visual statement. As a finishing touch, I'll also guide you in making a knobby, old branch—perfect for displaying your lilac masterpiece on the wall.
Constructing this flowering stem is a labor of love, as the more blossoms and buds you craft, the fuller and more liefelike your lilac will apear.
Whether you are a seasoned paper florist or a novice floral enthusiast, this workshop is designed to inspire and empower you. Quynh cannot wait to share her expertise, artistic vision, and love for paper flowers with each and every one of you.

MEET QUYNH
Quynh, the creative force behind Pink and Posey™, is not just a paper artist and soon-to-be author, but a community builder and educator.
Her work, celebrated across various platforms, embodies the spirit of sharing and growth. Dive deeper into her world through her podcast, Paper Talk™.
You can now pre-order her paper flower book, THE NEW ART OF PAPER FLOWERS! The book is set to release on November 12, 2024.
Each and every pre-order is huge when it comes to how much exposure a book gets. The more pre-orders, the more the algorithm pushes the book out in front of eyes. Amazon and other platforms do not pay authors well, so I usually encourage people to buy through their local indie or through bookshop.org, but during the pre-order time period, sales at Amazon makes a big difference. Thank you so much for all your support.
