Arts and Crafts
For the arty amongst you why not try out our craft week. The French are 'big' on crafts, so come and try jewellry making, or card making, or a bit of painting, maybe decorating gift boxes or making jewellry boxes is more your style. We are led by you on this one - whatever you want to make, design, stick on is ok by us!

Some ideas are

  • Card making - birthday, anniversary, christmas etc

  • Jewellry - make you own necklace or earings or maybe some high fashion accessory

  • Make a jewellry box - transform a plain wooden box into a a jewellry box in an afternoon - great gift for for Xmas maybe?

  • Scrap Booking - we in the UK call this collages - maybe a different way to get a piece of art for your wall or an unusual card

  • Christmas decorations - make unusual decorations for your tree and home

  • Floral Art - maybe make a gift for someone special
