Build a Flower: A Beginner's Guide to Paper Flowers

Lucia Balcazar is a paper-flower artist with a sophisticated yet approachable style. Her new book, Build A Flower is ideal for any crafter & flower lover. The results are stunning but the steps to get there are achievable at any skill level. Build a Flower will teach the basic techniques needed for crafting paper flowers, building upon skills as it moves through a select number of flowers and focusing on key tips: what type of paper works best, petal shapes that work for multiple flowers, how to assemble, and more. Lucia Balcazar will demonstrate her paper flower techniques with step-by-step instructions during her demonstrations. Her designs and ideas will inspire crafters to think beyond the vase—paper flowers as gifts, as decorations, and more. Her beginner book will open the door to a wide variety of possibilities. Lucia lives in Boston, Massachusetts.

Lucia is hosting a paper floral demonstration and book signing at the Newport Flower Show.
