From dish to fold

Wednesday, November 30 from 10am to 12pm and from 2pm to 4pm.

Parent/child storytelling workshop, led by Valérie Michel (Livre’S).

First of all, approach, through a reading time, the books of Katsumi Komagata. A time to become familiar with the poetic and plastic universe of the artist, to discover his love of nature and his interest in the concerns of childhood, to delicately manipulate the childhood, and to delicately handle his works as works of art…

Then to appropriate the artistic approach of the author, through a workshop around the paper which is in the heart of his universe. We will tame the color, the shapes, the textures. We will create a surprise: we will transform one thing into another!

On the workshop program: cutting, collage, folding, pop up… Children and parents will find their own way in the artist’s universe to create the literary and artistic object they want.

For children from 6 to 11 years old, accompanied by their parents.

Intercommunal library of Loué.
