Nature Walk
My art gallery is literally around the corner from Port Vauban, a short walk downhill gets us directly into the port. The walk to Le Fort Carré takes around 15 minutes and is very safe there are very few cars. I will guide us to my secret coastal spots where we can comb for natural materials we can incorporate into our paintings, in doing this we are cleaning up the coast which is great as this area is now a protected nature reserve.
Adult Art Class 65€ 9am -12.30pm
The aim of this class is to initiate you into the world of organic art and for you to make your own artwork on a stretched canvas 40x30cm, using materials from the walk and a large selection of materials in the workshop . I will help, guide and explain every step of the way.You can take the finished painting with you, which will be a nice souvenir of Antibes to hang at home or make a lovely gift.
Please bring old clothes/apron, a small backpack, suncream and a hat if needed.
Kids Art Class 35€ 9am -12.30pm
It is important to let children express themselves freely and to have fun when creating art so in this workshop the children use as many different materials as they want. There will be differing themes to work to such as the sea, the olympics, Pablo Picasso, nature....
They can try painting, sculpture, collage, papier maché, glue guns, clay...incorporating materials found on the nature walk
The best thing is they can make as much mess as they like !
Please make sure your child is equipped with old clothes, a sunhat, suncream, a bottle of water and a small back pack

TESTIMONIALS
"Not at all keen on the idea of an 'art workshop', got roped in by the missus as usual. Nice space with plenty of room, starts well, and just gets better. Lots of help from Chris, and thoughtful encouragement. Never had any hands-on art work experience like this before, but it all became so easy, interesting and great inventive fun. Fair amount of pride for my finished piece. Highly recommended to all". John, Montauroux
"Mon premier atelier d'Art Organique a pour moi été une révélation du point de vu créatif. Cette liberté d'expression encouragée par Chris m'a permis l'itilisation des couleurs sans apprehension. Je suis repartie satisfaite et assez fière du résultat de ma creation." Marie, Cagnes sur Mer
"J’ai réalisé mon 1er atelier d’art cette semain, j’ai vraiment apprécié,il y a une bonne énergie! Nous avons la liberté de réaliser la peinture avec tout ce qui nous passe par la tête! Je recommande fortement!👍" Thomas, Antibes
