Fée Halsted, the founder and artistic director of Ardmore, was in the USA for a series of events in January and February. Read about her busy itinerary and see some photos of her tour below.
At Ocean Reef in Key Largo, Fée gave a fascinating lecture about her uplifting work with the Ardmore artists, followed by a workshop at the Art League where her class collaborated, Ardmore style, on an impressive coiled and hand-modeled vase.

At the Pascoe Gallery in North Miami, Fée met many collectors from around the USA, who flew in to Florida to choose pieces from the spectacular new Ardmore selling exhibition Kingdom of the Zulus from the Savanna to the Sea. During her Florida visit, Fée opened a new Ardmore gallery at the Wiener Museum of Decorative Arts, which has an extensive collection of Ardmore on display.

Fée then set sail with a large party of Pascoe & Company collectors on a 10-day Caribbean cruise aboard the Oceania Riviera. She gave a ship-wide lecture on the cruise ship and inspired a shopping flurry for the new Ardmore scarves at the Hermès store in St. Barths.
