No need to bring any equipment or have prior experience: just come with a spark of imagination. The cyanotype technique, a poetic process that uses light to produce images, allows you to experiment with shapes and shadows to create striking deep blue pictures. This workshop, offered in an intimate setting, provides a chance to explore an original art form while enjoying a relaxing moment. To extend the experience, a snack prepared by the Café QJ is served, giving participants the opportunity to chat over a coffee or juice.

This short Saturday morning session is perfect for a solo outing, a quick catch-up with friends, or even a creative date for two, all set in a warm and central location. Whether you're looking to try something different in Paris or just want a chance to get hands-on with ink for a morning, this workshop ticks all the boxes. Spaces are limited, so booking early is recommended. Ready for a bit of creative fun?
