Open Life Drawing Workshops
Every month, join us on Wednesdays at Poinçon, the former 14th arrondissement Petite Ceinture station, for open life drawing workshops: long sessions (3h) and special themed sessions (2h).
Poinçon (Paris 14th)
About
Each month, two open life drawing workshops: one long session (3 hours) in the middle of the month, and one special themed session (2 hours) at the end of the month.
Ambroise takes over the former station master's apartment at Poinçon to host life drawing workshops, open to all audiences and skill levels!
Bring your favorite materials (excluding paint, ink, or techniques that could spill on the floor) and meet in front of the Poinçon station to use the top floor of this historic building for the evening.
Please note: the space is only accessible via stairs.
After the workshop, we can enjoy the bar and restaurant if you feel like it (subject to availability).

Our take on this event
Capture the human form during an inspiring figure drawing session held inside a beautifully repurposed historic station. Whether your sketches are masterpieces or messy experiments, this open studio invites everyone to sharpen their pencils and focus on the craft. It is the perfect creative wind-down that leads naturally into the evening buzz of a neighborhood favorite.
Ambroise hosts life drawing workshops inside the former station master's apartment at Poinçon, located in the 14th arrondissement. These sessions take place every Wednesday from 19:00 to 23:00 and are open to participants of all skill levels. You are welcome to bring your preferred drawing supplies, provided they do not include paint or ink to maintain the space. Please be aware that the workshops are held on the top floor of this historic building and are accessible only via stairs, meaning the venue is not wheelchair accessible.
From September 30 to November 25, 2026, join these life drawing sessions at Poinçon. The schedule features a 3-hour long session in the middle of the month and a 2-hour thematic session at the end of the month. Pricing is set at 10€ for a standard open session, 15€ for a long open session, and 25€ for a guided class.
Participants must bring their own art supplies. Please note that paint and ink are prohibited to prevent damage to the historic flooring. As the workshop is located on the top floor of the building, access is restricted to stairs only.
After your session, you are invited to visit the on-site bar and restaurant, subject to seating availability.
