The atmosphere is warm and friendly from the moment you arrive: in a bright workshop, seated at a large shared table, you will start by enjoying a drink of your choice accompanied by a savoury or sweet organic snack, depending on the time slot you have chosen. Mathilde will welcome you with a smile and invite you to immerse yourself in her world of embroidery, thread and hand-sewn wonders.

Once you are settled in, you will learn the basics of this meticulous technique. Mathilde will explain the first steps and show you how to make the embroidery stitch you have selected. You will then choose your design from a selection of in-house patterns and coloured threads. You can embroider on a piece of recycled fabric provided or, if you prefer, bring your own item: a tote bag, T-shirt, sweatshirt… anything is possible, as long as the fabric is not too stretchy.

You will then begin your work at your own pace, with assistance if needed. The pattern will gradually take shape under your fingers as you stitch. At the end of the workshop, you will leave with your creation: a unique piece that reflects your personality!
