To help you discover the techniques of straw marquetryOnce a month, we organise courses in our workshops run by Shan, our workshop manager. These courses do not require no prior training and are open to all wishing to immerse themselves in this unique technique for the duration of aa weekend.
The workshops take place in our Parisian studios at 22 rue Mayet in the 6th arrondissement. The studio is a 5-minute walk from Montparnasse station. The nearest metro stations are Duroc (lines 10 and 13) and Falguière (line 12).

The courses are held on weekends, Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm, with a lunch break. You are free to bring your own lunch. Some shops and bakeries are open nearby.

The number of trainees is limited to 10 in order to give you maximum attention.

Shan will adapt to your level. Those who have never worked with straw marquetry will create a panel with 4 basic motifs. For those who have already attended a course or who wish to perfect their skills, the inlay and compound fillet techniques will be presented.

More than 1,000 people are waiting for a place on a straw marquetry course, but unfortunately we can only accommodate 10 people per month. So it's impossible to sign up for several courses at once, and we give priority to people who have never taken a course before.
