My business focuses on the handmade creation of clothing pieces and accessories, made in small quantities, as well as leading creative workshops—moments of discovery, sharing, and friendliness centered on the crochet technique.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7: Bambu Day
Come discover the multicolor 3D printer at the media library's Bibliofab and create an iridescent or colorful object!
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14: Writing workshop for the 'Monte le son' event: Woman and a femininity of one's own
There are the women we are taught to be, those we become, those we imagine, and those we choose. There are legacies, silences, transmitted gestures, memories, desires, and everything that gradually shapes a singular way of being in the world. This workshop proposes to explore, through writing, what it means to be a woman and build a femininity that resembles us. Write to search, remember, invent, repurpose the words received, and perhaps find new ones. No need to be used to writing: the workshop is open to everyone, whether you write often or never.
So, come with your words, your silences, or simply your curiosity. Let's take the time to write together, perhaps to tell our stories, and to discover what words bring forth when they meet.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21: Fore-edge painting
Come (re)discover the technique of fore-edge painting or how to customize your favorite novels for readers of the 'Lire dans le 20e' prize.
