We also picked up some valuable watercolour tips from the master.

The highlight of the workshop was of course, the people.
Geninne was an encouraging and inspiring teacher with a warm, open spirit. It was such a pleasure learning from her, and working alongside a roomful of beautiful, creative women. And I also got to see Margie and Arounna again, and meet the incredibly sweet Sonia all the way from France. What a treat!
The centre tag with the ginko leaf design is one of my favourites. The beautiful crocheted-covered stones are by Margie. Wouldn't a crocheted stone workshop with Margie be AMAZING? (hint hint)
The workshop itself was held at Bookhou, a beautiful store on Queen street in Toronto.

As you can see, the workspace was all decked out with beautiful flowers, and inspiring art from the Winged Migration show. We were also treated to a gourmet lunch (had the BEST butter tarts EVER). Hard not to be inspired in such a place! If you get a chance, I highly recommend a Bookhou workshop, or just pop by the shop for a gander. It's well worth the trip!
The photos of the workshop are gorgeous.. I am going quite an impressive shade of green after reading your post... what a lucky ducky you are!! So glad you had a fab time :)
ReplyDeleteSweet Nicole, the treat was all mine. I loved meeting you and your husband at Bookhou and I hope we meet again sometime. If you guys ever want to come to Mexico: Mi casa es su casa!
ReplyDeleteI agree, a crochet covered stone workshop with Margie would be amazing! I wish I lived closer! Hugs from my little corner of the world.

I'm still pinching myself that I was there, observing you girls, and helping wonderful Margie out.
ReplyDeleteYou did an exceptional job, you were all so concentrated !
I will never forget how sweet & wonderful you were, how pretty & natural you looked, and your most adorable French melted my little French heart.
I hope we will get to meet again, here or there, or anywhere.

Now that looks like a good time! And a great summer project.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it was so much fun! (and big thanks for your nyc recommendations!)
ReplyDeleteHow incredibly cool. I would love to do something like this at one point. Also, great pictures!
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to do the workshop with you (I sat opposite you). You are very talented! Maybe we'll see each other again in another workshop! Cheers.
