This year we are combining our days of exploring Lyon with days of textile and garment design and Silk Painting in Burgundy with textile artist Nadja Lancelot.
Our France retreat will begin in Burgundy where we will embark on a magical time with artist Nadja Lancelot, creating various fabrics using a variety of textile art techniques on silk. Cochenille's Susan Lazear will also host some workshops in Burgundy. We will explore the area and enjoy the best of French cuisine.
Then, we move on to Lyon where we will explore its deep silk and textile heritage. We will have a variety of appointments and excursions. Of course, we cannot help but enjoy the cuisine, as Lyon is France’s leading culinary capital.
If you are new to design, fear not, we will guide you along.
