Stage de 3 jours en Arts Plastiques/ Ateliers Spire Création

Our ATELIER RURAL, the brainchild of the Spire Création Association, is about to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
Originally set up in Ligny en Brionnais, in the south of the Saône et Loire between Marcigny and Charlieu, the Association welcomed its students and trainees for many years in a renovated stable with whitewashed walls. Some people didn't hesitate to come from Gueugnon, Macon, Roanne, Paray le Monial and Marcigny to take part in the sessions and courses.

Today, our rural workshop is based at the Pont d'Argent in St Emiland, with the same objective: to awaken the creative potential that lies within everyone, to develop training in the plastic arts, to contribute to leisure activities and to encourage inter-generational relations. Indeed, what could be more enjoyable than to see people over 75 meeting young people or children! Our students and trainees currently come from Beaune, Lyon, Montceau, Montbard, St Léger sous Beuvray, St Jean de Trézy, Mesvres, Autun and Couches.

WORKSHOPS FOR CHILDREN aged 5 and over often begin with a story chosen to STIMULATE IMAGINATION, and then give free rein to free and accompanied expression: drawing, painting with gouache or watercolour, collage, making little books, postcards, masks, etc., depending on what the children want and the time of year.

THE WORKSHOPS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS develop the COMPREHENSION OF VOLUMES and their transposition, the practice of COLOURS and HARMONIES, the History of Art...
No subject is taboo, and depending on the artist's motivations, the workshop can accommodate on its easels: Animals from the countryside or the jungle, Boats, Landscapes, Compositions of objects or floral compositions... Documentary studies of objects found in nature... Live model or Fashion drawing, Comics...
All techniques can be approached: Gouache, Charcoal, Sanguine, Pastel, Acrylic, Watercolour, Mixed media...

Workshops and courses take place in a CONVIVIAL -and temperate- FRAMEWORK, with a large GARDEN FLOWERED AND WOODED for breaks.
MICHEYLE MARLIER is happy to work with each trainee to ensure the success of their individual and/or group project.
