Lavender spindle workshop

In Bellegarde, at Un Mas en Provence, a grower of aromatic plants, this lavender spindle workshop shows you how to make your own spindle from organic lavender harvested in the estate’s fields.

Braiding organic lavender, step by step

This fragrant, authentic workshop takes you into the world of Provence, where tradition meets craftsmanship. You are guided through every stage and learn the precise techniques for weaving lavender sprigs together with colourful ribbons. What you end up with is a handmade object that is emblematic of the South of France.

A decorative and useful spindle to take home

A lavender spindle is as practical as it is decorative: it gradually gives off a soothing, floral scent that is ideal for freshening up the house, wardrobes or linen.

This friendly, sensory session ends with you heading home with your own creation, steeped in the heady scents of Provence.
