The program is for anyone wishing to discover, improve or to master the techniques of the decorative art.
We welcome small groups, minimum of four participants and a maximum of eight. This limited number of participants guarantees the quality of teaching.
Participants work on mobile easels of 2 meters high and 1,15 meters wide.
Practical demonstrations allow for immediate set up on panels or echantillons.
The subjects for the décor at varying stages are selected by the teacher and are the same for all participants, to optimise the quality of the workshop.
At the completion of the workshop all works belong to the participants.
