Everlasting Crepe Paper Palms & Blooms

Welcome to our workshop exploring the delicate art of hand crafted crepe paper florals and large scale palms. Artist Sandra Gaestel shares her skills, techniques and knowledge behind this medium to build detailed floral arrangements, art installations and single blooms. Sandra has curated a toolkit of the materials she uses in her own studio to bring to life her craft. A favorite secret: how carefully applied natural powdered spices can bring dimension and realism to each bloom AND how beautiful paint washes add variegated detail to leaves. Another secret? Sandra shares how she combines crepe paper floral designs with actual dried florals. It’s so difficult to tell which is which! We can’t wait for you to dive in.

A highlight of the process we’ll explore together: every flower and leaf begins with high quality Italian crepe paper. The paper will typically go through a process of being painted or naturally dyed to bring dimension and life to each petal. Each petal and leaf is hand cut, shaped and molded. Once all these stages are complete, assembly can finally begin and flowers begin to take on a layered, complete look of their own.

    More Details

    Sandra is self taught with years of studying to perfect her craft and challenging herself to create blooms that mimic live flowers. Combining both crepe paper floral and dried greens, Sandra creates bouquets, arrangements, and back drops that make you do a double take and question…are those real?

    She started out by creating custom coffee filter flower designs as a favor for a friend’s wedding and it was love at first cut. Having never heard of crepe paper flowers before, it was something that immediately sparked her interest and curiosity. Fast forward to five years later, Sandra now runs her own crepe and dried floral shop — Harley Rose.

    Growing up, Sandra was constantly immersed in nature and would help her mother with all sorts of art projects which are reflected in all of her work today. Being taught to appreciate and respect nature exactly how she is without disruption or destruction, translates into Sandra's crepe paper flowers and floral designs. Nothing is forced or over worked but is left to move beautifully on its own, as if it were still in nature.
