From inspiration to gesture: let your creativity do the talking
Spaces where creativity is free to express itself
In Chénéville, Fabrik Artisanale is a veritable haven of creativity. Nestled in a century-old house, this boutique-workshop, run by Audrey Lacasse, offers a variety of workshops: painting, knitting, themed crafts and more. The emphasis is on learning in a friendly atmosphere, where everyone can let their imagination run wild while benefiting from expert advice. At Montebello, the Centre d'action culturelle offers a different perspective on creativity. In addition to the temporary exhibitions at the Centre d’Exposition Napoléon-Bourassa, this venue offers visual arts workshops inspired by the works on display. A unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a creative process directly linked to the work of professional artists. In the same vein, in Ripon,Atelier Galerie d'Art Solart, directed by Michelle Lemire, goes beyond the traditional role of a gallery. Here, creation comes alive every day: training in ceramics and sculpture, personalized guidance, access to the studio to experiment and learn at your own pace.
Between colors and materials: exploring textures
If you like to play with color, let yourself be tempted by an experience of intuitive painting and free expression at Studio Libérez vos couleurs in Thurso. Here, there are no strict rules: just let your imagination run wild, experiment with shapes and hues, and enjoy a creative moment in total freedom. For fiber and textile enthusiasts, Wööl - Wool Emporium, located in Montebello, is a must. Spinning, natural dyeing, knitting... This space offers immersive workshops where traditional gestures are passed on and modernized. From textiles to ceramics, there's just one step! In Montebello, La Shed Qui Tourne will be offering a unique experience in Raku, a Japanese ceramic firing technique. Observe the transformation of clay under the effect of fire and water, and experience a moment where art and alchemy come together.
Holiday spirit and the magic of glass and earth
Immerse yourself in the world of Christmas, La Destination de Noël in Ripon lets you create your own personalized Christmas decorations, by assembling and decorating handcrafted pieces. A workshop that will appeal to children and adults alike. If you prefer working with clay and glass, there are several workshops in Petite Nation. In Mayo, just 4 km from the Réserve écologique de la Forêt-la-Blanche, LM Serafin Pottery offers short (2-hour) hand-modeling workshops, as well as more regular pottery classes in hand-modeling and throwing. For an even more immersive experience, head for La Ferme Cabriole in Papineauville. This place combines nature and creativity, offering workshops in pottery, stained glass, glass fusion and wool work. It's a great opportunity to reconnect with craftsmanship in a peaceful, inspiring setting.
Art meets gastronomy
In the Petite Nation, creativity is not limited to the visual and manual arts. The Salon des Inconnus, located in Namur, is a hybrid space where art and gastronomy meet. In its Salon d'artiste, emerging and performance artists can experiment with different art forms, such as painting, music and digital art. In his Labo culinaire, Chef Marc-Alexis reinvents cooking by transforming it into a veritable gastronomic art form. A specialist in Quebec bistronomy and molecular cuisine, he offers culinary workshops where participants learn to sublimate flavors and transform their dishes into unique creations. Whether playing with paint textures, digital art or even flavors, each Salon des Inconnus workshop is an invitation to push back the boundaries of the imagination. Upcoming program
