KIDS

June Workshop

Informations :

“Sun Painting” by Marie-Pierre Blondel, decorator and illustrator

In the peaceful setting of the garden, just steps away from the sea, children discover an original and almost magical technique: sun painting, inspired by cyanotype but simplified and adapted for younger participants.

During the workshop, they create their own design on a tote bag by exploring colors directly on the fabric. Using leaves, flowers, seashells, and small natural treasures gathered from the garden and the seashore, they compose unique patterns that are revealed under the effect of light.

A fun and creative open-air experience to observe nature—between plant life and the marine world—play with colors, and leave with a personalized tote bag as a keepsake of this artistic adventure.
