Leather goods workshops

These workshops allow you to make your own handbag. If you’re still looking for that nugget, or a unique piece, all you have to do is create it. From preparation, to assembly, to sewing, you’ll be able to reproduce every step of the process, and leave with your own piece of art.

If you wish, you can also make accessories such as key-rings, spectacle cases or clutches.

Pottery and ceramics workshops

It’s THE trend we’re seeing everywhere. More and more people are creating their own tableware or decorations thanks to pottery classes. And there’s no shortage of ideas: mugs, vases, jewelry holders – in the end, the hardest part is choosing.

If you’re an amateur, there are also pottery workshops available. With guidance, you can learn the different techniques that will make you a true artist. And if you’ve already got the basics down, or if you’re a pro at what you do, there are places where you can shape the pieces of your choice on your own, with a fixed number of hours, or even hire a kiln to complete your project.

Tufting workshops

If this word doesn’t ring a bell, you’ve probably already seen this type of confection. With the help of a gun, tufting is a weaving technique that produces a carpet-like creation on a dedicated canvas.

In these workshops, design, tuft and then shear the piece of your dreams: canvas, rugs, cushions and more. The advantage of this workshop? You’re free to create any pattern, shape or color you like. Have fun and personalize your home!

Mosaic workshops
