Many of you have been eagerly awaiting details and pricing for our March 6-13, 2027 Creative Madrid tour, and I have good news! We have all the details, pricing, and registration is open!<\/p>\n

All details, pricing, and registration here<\/a><\/h3>\n

Plus, I’ve scheduled a conference call in case you have questions. Details below…<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I love the team we’ve assembled \u2014 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!<\/p>\n

\"Previous<\/a><\/p>\n

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 \u2014 partly chauffeured, partly walking \u2014 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 \u2014 and even watch and try flamenco.<\/p>\n

\"Previous<\/a><\/p>\n

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 V\u00eda, 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 \u2014 if we’re really lucky \u2014 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.<\/p>\n

\"Previous<\/a><\/p>\n

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 \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
