For our Dutch friends
Wij zijn gevestigd in Aveyron in Zuid-West Frankrijk en alle workshops die wij organiseren worden in dat prachtige gebied gehouden. Nu bestaat eindelijk de mogelijkheid om te leren hoe je sieraden kan maken en tegelijkertijd genieten van de schitterende, rustige omgeving waarin wij wonen. Het is hier een waar paradijs voor de natuurliefhebber.
Wij hebben een aantal nieuwe workshops opgezet. Deze zijn wat korter omdat we je daarin de beginselen van het sieraden maken bijbrengen. Ook deze workshops worden gehouden in Aveyron en zelfs in die korte tijd zal je hier helemaal tot rust komen. Je zal ontspannen naar huis terugkeren met de meest fraaie sieraden, dat je helemaal zelf gemaakt hebt.
Alle details over de korte workshops, en de workshops die wij tijdens de Kerst en Nieuwjaar periode houden, vindt je op de Workshops pagina.
Zijn er speciale sieraden die je zelf wilt maken? Wilt je liever privé les hebben, dus een één-op-één cursus? Wil je ons bezoeken op andere dagen dat de workshops worden gehouden? Wij zijn heel erg flexibel en kunnen aan bijna alle speciale wensen voldoen.
Email ons even om je speciale wensen door te geven dan kunnen wij dat spoedig samen verder bespreken.
