This passionate flower enthusiast will accompany you in a creative session, allowing you to produce the most beautiful accessories using dried flowers. After a visit of the magnificent workshop, dating back to 1920, this eco-friendly florist will explain her work and the alternative choices that guide her daily life: slow flowers, circular economy, local and organic suppliers, upcycling, etc.
After this quick presentation, you'll get started with the creation of your floral finery: a ribbon and a flowery buttonhole to be used in hair slides, brooches, a headband, choker, bracelet... the choice is yours, and the sky's the limit!
Then, step by step, flower by flower, and petal by petal, Daphne will guide you through the creation of your accessories.
You'll leave this workshop with a minimum of 2 unique and timeless accessories, as well as extensive floral handicraft knowledge.
Workshop location
Daphné and Elléa's workshop is located a few steps from the Brussels-Chapelle metro station (line S1).
This place is not accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Passionate about flowers and new ideas, Daphne works in an incredible workshop, where creativity and poetry are the order of the day!
The workshop is a former hat shop, where the typical Art Nouveau façade validates its status as the oldest store on the street.
She embarked on a career change and launched Versus, a concept that promotes an alternative and responsible approach to floristry. She promotes a circular, local, organic and upcycling economy, by using Belgian flower producers and partnering up with European artists, and neighbourhood shopkeepers. At Versus, plants are sculptural tools. Like a painter with their palette, here the lines, shapes and colours of the flowers decide a composition or a bouquet.
You'll enjoy an enthusiastic welcome, where you can learn more about current and future floral art trends, all in a magnificent workshop that dates back to 1920 and has retained all of its original features. A little piece of the future or a blast from the past? It's up to you to find out!
