Ready to get creative in the heart of summer, surrounded by the soothing scent of lavender? Pack your enthusiasm and artistic flair—leave everything else at home. The Gárdony (Gárdony) Lavender Workshop series promises a hands-on adventure in crafting natural, eco-friendly jewelry, all set in a relaxed, fragrant environment where every material and tool is provided for you.
Natural Crafting, No Fuss
Each workshop offers nature-inspired, environmentally conscious supplies. Sustainability isn’t just a marketing buzzword here—you’ll leave feeling better about your choices and proud to wear an accessory that won’t harm the planet. Templates are available if you’re searching for inspiration, but nothing stops you from improvising and creating your own original pieces on the spot. Don’t worry about forgetting your pliers or a bead—everything you need is provided, so you can focus on what matters: your creativity and that infectious lavender energy.
Workshop Lineup: From August to December
Workshops begin on August 2, 2025, at 12 Kossuth Street (Kossuth utca 12) in Gárdony (Gárdony). On that Saturday, you’ll create personalized mineral jewelry using lava stone beads, ceramics, and optional custom pendants crafted onsite. Whether you’re designing unique bracelets, statement earrings, or an eye-catching pendant, the organizers guide you every step of the way, ensuring your jewelry not only looks great but makes you feel accomplished.
If you miss that one, don’t worry. Additional sessions are scheduled for August 30, September 13, October 11, November 8, and December 13. Each of these workshops offers an inviting mix of hands-on creativity, harmony, and a back-to-nature ambiance. Every session gives you not only a stylish, self-made accessory but also a memorable experience you’ll want to share.
Stay and Dine in Style
Still energized after the workshop, or ready to rest after a crafting marathon? Settle in at the local lakeside hotel, right on the shore of Lake Velence (Velencei-tó) in Gárdony (Gárdony). Here, 81 smoke-free rooms and four luxury suites combine modern design with plush comfort and a hint of extravagance. The hotel’s prime location puts you right by the harbor and a public beach, so you’re always close to the water and the action. Looking for lunch? There’s a homestyle kitchen delivering daily menus on weekdays to Gárdony (Gárdony) and neighboring towns—Agard (Agárd), Dinnyes (Dinnyés), Velence (Velence), Kapolnasnyek (Kápolnásnyék), Sukoro (Sukoró), Nadap (Nadap), and Pakozd (Pákozd). Their “Our Favorite” menu is bound to become your new go-to dish.
Eat, Sip, and Chill by the Lake
Once you’ve worked up an appetite or a thirst, head to Petrocelli Caffé Restaurant & Café, located right on the lakeshore. Imagine shady, tree-lined grassy banks, shallow sandy stretches where little ones can play, a boat marina, and pedal boat rentals for the more adventurous. After your crafting, treat yourself to their artisan gelato, made onsite with Italian ingredients and traditional methods—a treat the organizers hope will become your latest craving.

Go ahead and save the dates, but leave a little room for spontaneity—the organizers reserve the right to adjust the program and schedule.
