Step Into the Studio

Step Into the Studio

Arrive 15 minutes early to explore Le Studio Anthost’s atelier, with its fabrics, colors, and projects in progress for designers, and settle into a warm, candlelit atmosphere before the workshop begins.


Learn Astrid’s Technique

Learn Astrid's Technique

Astrid opens the session with a short introduction to gold leaf and stencils, and shows you how she uses them in her own textile work.


Layer the Gold

Layer the Gold

Tape your holiday stencil onto your napkin, fill it with glue, and spread it carefully with a brush. Then press gold foil onto the glue, peel it back, and watch your motif appear in gold.


Leave With Two Napkins

Leave with Two Napkins

You’ll decorate two napkins at your own pace. Keep the pair for the holiday table, use them to serve dishes, or share one with someone you love.


Step into Le Studio Anthost, a textile atelier in the heart of New York, and spend two hours in the world of a textile artist. Surrounded by beautiful fabrics, rich colors, and projects in progress for designers, you’ll work at big wooden tables in a warm, creative atmosphere. You’ll see the materials, the techniques, and the energy that inspire Astrid’s work. No experience or artistic background is required, just curiosity and a love of beautiful details.
This special edition introduces gold leaf, another technique Astrid uses in her own projects. It is a unique chance to try an artist’s technique on textile, on one night only, December 17. Gold foil brings a luminous, shimmering finish that shifts with the light, and against soft white cotton the contrast is striking. Each motif catches the candlelight with a delicate metallic sheen and small imperfections that make every napkin one of a kind. Working with glue, stencils, and gold metallic foil, you’ll build motifs that give simple cotton a festive, handcrafted touch.
Astrid will guide you through each step. You’ll choose your holiday stencils, fill them with glue, and spread it carefully with a brush. The glue dries quickly, so while the first layer rests, you can move on to your second napkin or keep building on the same one. Then you’ll cut your gold foil, press it onto the glue, and peel back the sheet to reveal your motif. Press again wherever the glue still shows, filling in any gaps, until every detail is covered in gold. The goal is a relaxing, intuitive creative moment, and you’ll leave with a pair of napkins ready for your holiday table. Step in, create, and make something that shines.

Le Studio Anthost is a Brooklyn-based textile atelier founded by Astrid de Saint Anthost, a French artist and craftwoman who grew up in Paris and trained at Atelier Dynale, whose clients included John Galliano at Dior, Alexander McQueen at Givenchy, and Christian Lacroix.
After moving to New York, Astrid channeled the city's energy into building her own studio. What started in fashion gradually evolved into something broader: in 2017, she launched an interior textile collection, and Le Studio Anthost went on to collaborate with some of the most celebrated interior design firms in the country, including recipients of the AD 100 and Elle Decor A-List distinctions.
Today, Astrid brings that same expertise into the workshop space because she believes these techniques shouldn't live behind closed studio doors. Needle punch is one of her favorite crafts to teach: tactile, intuitive, and endlessly satisfying.
The studio itself is part of the experience. Set in a true artist's atelier in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, it carries a creative energy that's hard to describe and easy to feel the moment you walk in.
