Workshops
Every month we have a varied program of workshops in various manual techniques. They are suitable (except where indicated) for those with no previous knowledge and guarantee you a general knowledge of the techniques.
We have short workshops (3 to 4 hours) that serve as an introduction, as well as other full-day training or training divided into more than one session. In workshops consisting of more than one session, it is possible to gain more knowledge and explore more techniques, which allows for greater involvement with the tools, raw materials and techniques.
