Description
To wrap up the “Promenons-nous dans les Arts” exhibition, join us for a big “Release of Painters”! Come explore Albiez-le-Jeune as you wander through the town with pencil, paper, and paint in hand, then join us for a potluck dinner and the closing reception.
The Project: Let’s Take a Stroll Through the Arts
This project was created by a group of passionate artists from all walks of life who are committed to sharing their techniques through friendly workshops.
It also stems from a desire to bring everyone’s works together and invite other artists to exhibit alongside them.
The exhibition brings together painters, draftsmen, sculptors, and potters eager to share their joy of creating.
The opening reception is a time to present the works and their creators. The workshops offer an opportunity for creative expression. The closing event is a time to share our diverse perspectives on and feelings toward the works.
---
The workshops are open to children ages 8 and up.
They will take place every afternoon from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the community hall. Materials will be provided.
€5 per workshop, subject to availability. Registration is required by phone.
The 2026 Workshops:
- Clay Workshop, Monday, August 3
Introduction to and advanced techniques in working with clay: the joy of kneading, creating various pieces—tableware, decorative objects, sculptures—and learning the main technical principles. You may take your creations home after they have dried in the exhibition hall.
With Séverine Bizel Bizellot and Xavier Bonnet-Eymard
- Pastel and Charcoal Workshop, Tuesday, August 4
Pastel is painting without a brush; you draw with pure color and blend it with your fingertips…
Goal: to leave with a painting and the desire to get your hands dirty again!
Charcoal is about movement, the moment, and contrasts. Charcoal is a burnt wooden stick that becomes a sketch, a portrait, or vast landscapes in just a few strokes. Charcoal allows us to embrace black and understand volume.
With Marie-Claire Lanza and Marie Ghabrid
- Watercolor Workshops, Tuesday, August 5, and Wednesday, August 6
Observe the landscape, sketch its shapes with a pencil, and then, with a few brushstrokes on the paper, let the magic of color and water work its magic in the painting. Join us to explore a few techniques over the course of an afternoon—outdoors if the weather is nice, or indoors if it rains.
With Joseph Haeringer and Jean-Marie Delcoustal
- Artists’ Outing, Friday, August 7
Come discover Albiez-le-Jeune as you wander through it, pencil, paper, and paint in hand.
