Plus, I’ve scheduled a conference call in case you have questions. Details below…
Join me and a small group limited to 12 attendees. We’ll explore Madrid together, share wonderful meals, and visit places you wouldn’t find on your own. My goal is to give you a rich creative and cultural experience with plenty of inspiration to bring home, plus time to make new friends and try new things. As with past tours, we’ve balanced structured time with free time, and I’ve put together a special guide to my favorite spots for you to explore at your leisure.
I love the team we’ve assembled — everyone is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and it’s such a pleasure to step away from my laptop and sewing machine to share a week in Madrid with you!
Here’s an (incomplete) list of what we have planned: We’ll visit the royal tapestry workshop, the royal glass workshop (with a glass casting workshop included!), take a private tour of the Prado Museum and a private tour of the city — partly chauffeured, partly walking — learn the art of damascene with one of the remaining maestros in Toledo, visit a bullfighting tailor and a famous guitar luthier, take a behind-the-scenes tour of a historic notions and trims shop (you won’t believe your eyes), visit Madrid’s fashion museum, and spend a little time in my own studio with time for Q&A. I’ll show you some of my favorite shops, introduce you to artisans working here today, and we’ll enjoy both traditional and contemporary Spanish food — and even watch and try flamenco.
You’ll also have time to wander the streets of the center city, visit the beautiful Retiro Park, see the spectacular Beaux-Arts architecture of Gran Vía, and learn about the incredible mix of cultures that have made Spain what it is. We’ll explore the cobblestone streets and history of Toledo, visit the summer palace in La Granja de San Ildefonso, and — if we’re really lucky — there might be a Real Madrid game. I have an inside source for tickets! Guests from the our previous Creative Madrid tours have told me this was a highlight, so fingers crossed they’ll be playing at home that week.
This tour is not about sewing, and that’s intentional. I’ve structured it so anyone can enjoy it because it celebrates artisans and creativity of all kinds. Spain has such a profound history of artisanship, and there are so many places to find inspiration here. So invite a friend or partner to join you, and also feel free to come on your own — you won’t be alone for long. You’ll soon have a group of close friends, me included, to explore with. These shared experiences will enrich your time in Madrid in the best way.
Interested? I really hope so! Details, pricing, and registration are right here:

Additionally, we’ll be holding an informational call for the tour on November 15 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (U.S.). If you’d like to join, you can register for the call right here.
I encourage you to sign up for the call if you have any questions. If you can’t attend, you can still submit questions in advance and I’ll be recording it so you can also watch later.
I can’t wait to meet you, and I hope to see you this spring in Madrid. It’s going to be so much fun!
