– NATURAL INK MAKING – 11am-5pm
Based on plant and mineral harvests, this workshop enables participants to make their own tools and colorants for drawing and painting, in direct connection with the garden. Participants will make vegetable inks that will serve as the basis for graphic experiments, between drawing and printing, in a sensitive and creative approach inspired by nature.
with La Dessinerie and David Muguet
(open to all, ages 12 and up – continuous from 11am to 5pm)
– DRAWING AND PAINTING, WEAVING THE LIVING – 2pm-5pm
A drawing and painting workshop open to beginners and experienced artists alike, to take part in a collective fresco. Inspired by the garden landscape, plants and insects, it invites us to explore our relationship with living things, to experiment with multi-handed creation and to let a free, spontaneous and poetic work emerge.
with painter Saskia Hartmann
(open to all, ages 2 and up – continuous from 2pm to 5pm)
– The guinguette will be open from 1.30pm to 5pm with refreshing drinks and homemade organic cake. Picnics in the gardens are welcome!
