"Super interesting concept! You can select a ceramic piece and paint it however you want it. While eating pastries and drinking coffee or tea. They have a nice color palette to choose from as well. Just as a recommendation, perhaps thing about the pattern and piece of ceramic in advance otherwise you will have to rush in order to finish by the end of the session. Might be worth even reviewing which techniques can be used for painting ceramics as there is only one staff member for all the people that attend the workshop (the time we went there were about 20 attendees) You need to reserve the workshop in advance on their website, by choosing the date and time and the number of people attending."

Nous avons adoré découvrir l’univers de la peinture sur céramique, avec tout le matériel et les conseils nécessaires pour laisser place à sa créativité. L’équipe a été arrangeante et très sympa, nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir. Merci les rêveries d’Hercule, on a hâte de venir récupérer nos pièces !"
