Public workshops

During school holidays, the School is pleased to offer you internships in the context of amateur practices led by artists and designers.

Artistic practice is also open throughout the year to the general public, whether they wish to discover or deepen a practice or wish to pursue higher education in art or design.

We are looking to improve our artistic workshops and courses. Your feedback is essential to achieving this!

    / / / register / / /

Two days of exploring Limoges and the banks of the Vienne River, sketchbook in hand, drawing from life. Through carefully chosen subjects and with a focus on progression, we will explore landscapes, vegetation, architecture, figures, and perhaps interior spaces if time forces us to retreat to monuments or museums. These diverse subjects open up a wide range of issues related to pictorial expression and two-dimensional representation, while simultaneously offering considerable freedom to each participant.
We will practice various dry and wet drawing techniques that are easily portable. The main objective will be to train one's eye, to develop one's style and sensitivity.

  • "From cyanotype to monotype: tell me about the ocean" with MissV
    Tuesday, July 7, 2026 – 9:30 AM / 16:30 PM
    Target audience: children aged 8 and over (10 places)
    Price: € 120
    / / / register / / /

The workshop will begin with an introduction to cyanotype* on the theme of the seabed, to understand how an image is created by contact printing, without a camera. In the second part, each participant will work on the images they created using acrylic paint to make monotypes**.

* cyanotype = an old photographic process that allows you to obtain images by contact, in Prussian blue.
** monotype = ink printing process without engraving, which allows for a unique print.

  • "Discovering cyanotype: the little things that fly" with MissV
    Wednesday, July 8 (half day) – 9:30/12:30
    Target audience: children aged 8 and over (10 places)
    Price: € 60
    / / / register / / /

This introduction to cyanotype (an early photographic process that produces contact prints in Prussian blue) will playfully and poetically explore the creation of an image without a camera. The small, flying things will be the central theme of this workshop.

  • "Cyanotype and Photography: Creating Three-Dimensional Images" with MissV
    Thursday 9 and Friday 10 July 2026 – 9:30/16:30
    Target audience: children aged 8 and over (10 places)
    Price: € 190
    / / /register / / /

This cyanotype workshop aims to move beyond the traditional use of this contact printing process, namely, the now almost ubiquitous herbarium. We will therefore work on the materiality of the image and explore the artistic possibilities of cyanotype, particularly its transformation from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. Each participant will be able to develop a personal approach to memory and the trace. Please bring approximately twelve personal photographs for this purpose.

  • "From Image to Artist's Book" with MissV
    Monday 19 and Tuesday 20 October 2026 – 9:30/16:30
    Suitable for ages 15 and up (8 places)
    Price: € 190
    / / / register / / /

The aim is to consider the book as a visual medium rather than a reading tool. By exploring the theme of "Shadows and Lights," each participant will develop a non-linear narrative through photography, collage, drawing, writing, etc., and create a unique, visual copy of their book.
