A 2.5-hour creative experience at Waterville in partnership with the Bermuda National Trust  

La Petite Soirée is partnering with the Bermuda National Trust to host a 2.5-hour workshop experience at Waterville, a breathtaking 300-year-old Bermuda property — the perfect setting for an evening of timeless correspondence, creativity, and connection. 

A handwritten letter is never “just a letter.” It’s a gift. It holds love, preserves memories, and brings joy in our absence. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to turn simple correspondence into a sensory experience — one that surprises, delights, and feels deeply personal. 

What you’ll experience: 

• You’ll be welcomed with a drink and light refreshments as you settle into the space

• Learn the foundations of thoughtful letter writing, including how to create a letter that feels like a keepsake

• Write a letter to your future self on handmade paper (filled with your hopes, wishes, and intentions)

• Discover an introduction to wax seals, including the rich symbology and hidden messages woven into classic designs.

• Create press flower wax seals (a customer favourite)

• Practice multiple seals with guided instruction so you feel confident creating them again at home 

A beautiful bonus:

After the workshop, your letter will be mailed back to you in 3 months’ time — a gentle reminder of what you wanted for yourself and who you were becoming. 

You’ll also take everything home:

All wax seal tools used in the workshop are yours to keep, so you can continue making pressed flower wax seals anytime you feel inspired. 

*This is a small-group experience and spaces are very limited.  We HIGHLY recommend you reserve your spot today.
