Whether you're into pottery classes, team ceramics or painting workshops, we've got just what you need to spend an afternoon, morning or even the whole day with children of all ages in Paris!

On Wednesdays, at weekends or during the vacations, come and spend an afternoon in a workshop, a family third place or a boutique-atelier to learn how to make and create objects during hourly, hour-and-a-half or two-hour sessions, with toddlers as well as older children, mostly aged 3 and over.

You can choose between temporary workshops, offered according to season, holiday (special Easter, Christmas, Galette des rois, Lunar New Year, for example) or specific times of the year, and permanent workshops, which the capital's creative venues offer all year round! In any case, it's also a great time to discover some of Paris's finest artists' studios, who open their doors to introduce you and your family to their artistic practice. If not, it's also a good opportunity to come across some great family concepts, spaces created by and for families, which are gradually springing up in Paris and the surrounding suburbs.

We strongly recommend that you try out the ceramic cafés in Paris, learn to model or throw a pottery workshop, go behind the scenes of textile printing, learn how to make your own washing powder or carry out a whole range of creative activities in creative laboratories dedicated to DIY, or Do It Yourself.

The program is wide-ranging and varied, but above all, there's something for everyone. The professionals welcome you and really adapt to your children - even the youngest - so that they can create according to their motor skills and creativity! Prices vary according to the activity chosen, and some places even offer "parent-child" duo rates, making for a great creative family outing!
