This Episode reminds us that although there is no perfect time to take a break when you’re an artist and/or entrepreneur, it’s something we all need in order to grow. And what is a more perfect time than during the holiday season? Exactly. Not to mention that it coincides with the start of Jessie’s maternity leave!

Episode 14: Over Coffee: Workshop 101
Join us this week as Quynh, Jessie, and Priscilla talk about their passion: Hosting workshops around the world!
After the success of the Seattle Masterclass in April 2019, it became obviously clear that there is a growing interest in the art of paper flowers and more importantly, an interest in how WE made OUR paper flowers!
As a result, we quickly began to plan our next workshop and paper flower retreat. The culmination of all of our efforts is this Fall’s 2-Day Paper Flower Workshop in Toronto on September 14th and 15th. We have worked incredibly hard to jam-pack the curriculum to include our favourite skills and techniques that we have learned and evolved over the course of our paper flower journey.
Listen to us as we talk about how we plan and run our workshops.

Episode 9: Over Coffee: How to Conduct a Bridal Consultation
Join us this week as we discuss how we consult with potential clients/brides that approach us for unique commissions. Each of us has varying but extensive experience with wedding inquiries, so we often get questions about how we go about communicating with our clients, what issues to address and confirm during our communications from the initial contact to delivery, and what questions to ask so you don’t get burned.
We all approach our consultations slightly differently, but we all agree that there are a number of topics that must be part of the discussion early on. We hope that our frank conversation in this Episode of Paper Talk will enlighten anyone who has to speak with a client - any type of client - about a commission or sale.
