The International Friends are delighted to invite you and your guests to participate in a workshop event where you can create your own floral masterpiece from top quality silk flowers under the expert guidance of Zilla Grondel from Setafiori.

Inspired by the wonderful collection of flower paintings within the Mauritshuis, we have asked Zilla to return and help us recreate our own masterpieces, using her array of silk flowers and foliage. Participants have the choice of bringing their own vase or using the one depicted in the image above. For more inspiration, please visit setafiori.nl.

At the end of the event, we will photograph your creation within a frame against a velvet backdrop so that in addition to your creation, you also receive a beautiful photographic image as a memento.
