Family workshop.\u00a0 The big banquet<\/a><\/h3>\n

The artist, textile designer and silk-screen printer Julia Pelletier\u00a0has designed a family workshop for these days of Christmas that will consist of a major installation inspired by the still lifes of the museum in which the families will work on the topic of food.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A well-laid table will be the starting point to create a drawn and volumetric meal and, at the end of the workshop, the participants will take away with them a souvenir-menu of this major feast of still lifes.<\/p>\n

The workshop will take place from 17th to 21st January and is thought for families with children over 3 years old.<\/p>\n
