Imaginary Bestiary

Create paper animal masks and puppets in a hands-on workshop that invites children to imagine a lively bestiary of birds, frogs, snakes and fantastical creatures. Using Neocolor II crayons and Caran d’Ache Fibralo water-soluble markers, participants explore color, texture and the transformations water can produce. Intense pigments, unexpected blends and tactile effects open a playful creative space. Kids will personalize their creatures with feathers, glitter and mixed materials and bring them together in a tiny, imaginative puppet theatre.

In French. Kids ages 4 and up.
