Our Story
Fleur opened it’s doors September 2022 in Denver, CO. What started as a dream for jewelry designer and founder, Allie Rodriguez, quickly became a reality when she viewed the space that now houses the Fleur Workshop and Store on 4th and Broadway.
Fleur works directly with local makers and creatives to offer workshops teaching others about their craft. All workshops not only teach participants about the craft, but provide enough structure so that by the end of class, each person walks out with a finished piece of art. Since opening, Fleur has hosted over 1,500 workshop participants - we are so proud to share the art of making with others!!
