Zijdenbloem is a small young creative bureau dealing with production of silk flowers, hats and fasionators. We also visit exhibitions and take part in different competitions.

From time to time (2-3 times a quarter) we hold flower making workshops in the Netherlands, in the city of Naarden, it is 20 minutes away from Amsterdam. Usually there is another new flower at every workshop. We use different materials, from silk to sinamay, abaca silk. During the course you will be able to learn a special flower leaves coloring technique and also learn how you can put the flower together. You will get theoretical basics on how to dress the fabric to make it limber and keep the form firmly. In fact the course is full of information and techniques. If there is some interest, I can conduct an individual course and show you how to make any flower you choose. But the price will differ. After the workshop, it is not only your knowledge and technique you take home, but your self-made flower, diadem or a brooch too (photos always go together with the course). You can also contact us by the e-mail and get answers to all your questions.
