Come in gently.
The studio has seen you arrive.

Adult workshop — studio

From line to matter — study, colour and movement.

Every piece begins with a first line.

Drawing, illustration, watercolour and painting can also be discovered during the workshops.

Discover the workshops

There are several ways to begin.

Every artist finds their own way in. Some begin with a line, others with a story, a colour, or simply the wish to explore.

Come closer to a table. Choose the one that calls to you.

Each practice can be discovered at your own pace, alone or with guidance.

Dessiner est pour moi juste une nécessité vitale.

Prendre le temps d’observer et de poser dans mon carnet ce que je vois, dans un croquis, une aquarelle, laisser mûrir...

Et transmettre cette passion à des enfants, des ados, des adultes me comble de joie.
