This workshop, led by Sébastien Carré, offers an opportunity to
explore a range of textile techniques, suitable for beginners and advanced alike.
Participants will discover and learn more about needlework, embroidery, Peyote stitch (weaving), network and fringe.
They will also be able to experiment with techniques such as crochet and macramé to add volume and texture to their creations, according to their projects and desires.
Over five days, progressive modules will enable participants to acquire technical skills while encouraging experimentation and exchange. More experienced participants can also use the week as a creative retreat to conceptualise a personal project, exploring
different technical solutions to bring it to fruition.
