Accompanied by Anne for bookbinding and Isabelle for watercolor, let your imagination run wild and learn to create an elegant notebook with your own hands. You will explore the magic of watercolor during a creative and convivial day and leave with works that reflect your artistic sensitivity.
The morning will be dedicated to the art of bookbinding: you will create a unique, practical, and aesthetic notebook. The choice of materials, sewing the pages, and covering the covers will no longer be a mystery to you. High-quality watercolor paper will be provided for your creation to be durable and suitable for your future artistic projects. Depending on the workshop chosen, your notebook will adopt a format (portrait, landscape, or square) that suits you.
At lunchtime, enjoy a relaxing moment savoring local food platters. The afternoon will be dedicated to watercolor! Let yourself be guided by Isabelle in a watercolor workshop. You will learn to master water and pigments through fun exercises. You will finish by creating a seasonal illustration, mixing different materials, for a captivating artistic result.
In addition to memorable souvenirs, you will leave the workshop with a handmade notebook, your first watercolor, as well as the techniques needed to continue these activities at home. An ideal balance between craftsmanship and creativity, in a warm and inspiring atmosphere.
Reserve your spot now and experience an unforgettable artistic day with passionate artisans!
