Times are changing, and in these times of climate change and over-consumption , many people are aware of the need to cut back on purchases and spending that some might find unnecessary. So, as we look ahead to the end-of-year celebrations of 2024 and the traditional Christmas gifts, wouldn't it be a good idea to offer our loved ones an experiential workshop, rather than piling up packages under the tree?
After all, to take part in a workshop is to discover a whole range of skills in the presence of an expert craftsman, to spend time with loved ones or to meet strangers around the same passion, who could well become friends, but above all it's to leave with glitter in your eyes - and most of the time, with the object of your creation under your arm, to take home. And who knows, why not even inspire some vocations among you!
Cooking or pastry classes, ceramics or pottery workshops, adult or family workshops, there's definitely something for everyone. All you have to do is choose which workshop is best suited to your loved one - and accompany them, if appropriate, to this unique experience!
