Cwtch is pronounced "coutch" and it means cuddle in Welsh. It's the first word Marion learned when she lived in Wales. From there, she brings us a concept, still not very widespread in France: painting on earthenware. Over there, many parents have painted themselves mugs or plates stamped with the imprint of the baby's foot or handcuff. It is also a very popular activity for birthdays and bachelorette parties. Today, with her long braid behind her back, Marion has set up shop in the heart of Nantes, at 24 rue Armand-Brossard, to open her earthenware painting workshop. Brushes on the tables, a playful space for the little ones, and more than 300 earthenware models on the shelves, here, you can choose your bowl, your plate, your trivet or your cute trinket to make your own work. In a free workshop or in a directed workshop, there is no age to let yourself be carried away by the caress of the brush on the object and express your creativity. Birthdays, bachelorette parties, births or just for fun, there is always a good reason to take a creative art workshop. Also note the kits to take home to paint earthenware.
