Creative workshop: Christmas ornaments and balls
(All ages 4 years and up!)
In this workshop, participants will create a Christmas tree ball by superimposing tissue paper and coloured sequins.

Creative workshop: Christmas cards
(All ages 4 years and up!)
This creative workshop invites families to create a greeting card by discovering the technique of making a print using a foam sheet, a roller and impression ink. First, the children will ink a winter or Christmas motif (a snowflake, a Christmas tree, a leaf of mistletoe) on a foam sheet, before hand printing their drawing on a piece of cardstock. They will then decorate this card with different elements to embellish it.
Sunday 22 December 2024 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon
(NEW)
Creative workshop: Painting porcelain
(Adults 16 years and up!)
Thanks to a generous donation from Pébéo, participants in this workshop will be invited to explore the technique of painting on porcelain. Take inspiration from the colder weather to personalise a cup by combining three ways of decorating it: with a brush, with a marker and with cerne relief dimensional paint. A marvellous opportunity to combine usefulness and the decorative. Happy creating!
⇒ Places are limited, so reservations are essential for this activity.
Friday 27 December 2024 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon
Creative workshop: A collage landscape
(All ages 4 years and up!)
Participants will be invited to create a winter landscape using a technique of enlivening torn paper with tissue paper applied to it in relief. By superimposing scraps of cardstock, pages from magazines or construction paper, a mountainous landscape will take shape. This accessible activity is open to all!
Friday 27 December 2024 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Creative workshop: Gilding on wood
(Adults 16 years and up!)
