Mexico City Floral Crown Workshop
Two days of paper flowers, fresh marigolds, and wearable floral mechanics, set in Roma Norte during Día de los Muertos.
Date: October 31 - November 1, 2026
Location: Roma Norte, CDMX
Cost: $450 USD
Build a wearable crown from foundation to finished piece.
Students learn to build a wearable crown of paper florals and fresh flowers, from the very first petal to the final placement. The crown mechanics are based on a modified version of Hitomi Gilliam's foundation technique, taught with her written permission.
Quynh teaches paper flower construction; Dani teaches the mechanics and fresh floral integration, including how to work marigolds into a crown for Día de los Muertos. Together the two elements produce one cohesive, wearable result by the end of day two.

Creating Paper Flowers with Quynh Nguyen
Quynh, the artist behind Pink and Posey and author of The New Art of Paper Flowers, will lead you through the delicate process of crafting a lifelike crepe paper garden rose. You will learn how to shape, curl, and layer paper petals, build realistic flower centers, and work with subtle color variations to bring your bloom to life. Quynh will share her favorite tools, materials, and techniques, offering hands-on guidance and encouragement every step of the way. By the end, you will have a stunning handmade flower and the skills to continue your paper floral journey at home.
A Love Letter to Dahlias
Certain flowers stay with you long after their season has passed. For me, that flower has always been the dahlia. My love for dahlias began with my grandmother standing proudly beside her prized dinner-plate burgundy dahlia with the biggest smile. Though she is no longer with me, her joy and connection to the garden live on every time I see a dahlia unfurl its perfect, intricate petals. This workshop celebrates joy, beauty, memory, and connection, and I would love for you to experience it with us.
