Create and bind your own notebook and discover watercolours!
Accompanied by Anne for bookbinding and Isabelle for watercolor, let your imagination run wild and learn how to create an elegant notebook with your own hands. You’ll explore the magic of watercolor during a creative and convivial day, and leave with works that reflect your artistic sensibility.
The morning will be devoted to the art of bookbinding: you’ll create a unique, practical and aesthetic notebook. The choice of materials, the sewing of leaves and the covering of boards will hold no secrets for you. High-quality watercolor paper will be provided to ensure your creation is durable and suited to your future artistic projects. Depending on the workshop you choose, your notebook will adopt a format (portrait, landscape or square) to suit you.
At lunchtime, enjoy a moment of relaxation as you savor platters of local produce. The afternoon is devoted to watercolor painting! Let Isabelle guide you through a watercolor workshop. You’ll learn to master water and pigments through playful exercises. You’ll finish by creating a seasonal illustration, mixing different materials for a captivating artistic result.
In addition to lasting memories, you’ll leave the workshop with a handmade notebook, your first watercolor, and the techniques you need to continue these activities at home. An ideal balance between craftsmanship and creativity, in a warm and inspiring atmosphere.
Reserve your place now and experience an unforgettable artistic day in the company of passionate craftswomen!
