Cours discrètes de la Bastille et rencontre avec un artisan du bois
Pendant des décennies, les marteaux et les scies ont vibré dans des ateliers sur cour qui fleuraient bon le bois frais. Les fabriques de meubles dues à un savoir-faire réputé, avaient envahi tout le faubourg Saint-Antoine. Au moment de la construction de l'opéra Bastille, le sud du 11e, au prix d'une transformation radicale, devint le quartier à la mode, les artisans cédant peu a peu la place aux cafés et boutiques branchés. Dans tout l'arrondissement, des passages dévoilent un Paris secret et encore protégé.
Au milieu d'une suite de cours discrètes, une rencontre est prévue avec un des derniers ébénistes du quartier.
15€/pers. Ce prix englobe la participation à la visite d'atelier.
RDV à la sortie du métro Breguet-Sabin, en face du No 9 Bd Richard Lenoir
Visite en français et anglais si nécessaire !
For years, wood artisans have thrived around the Faubourg Saint Antoine, outside of Bastille square. This tradition, along with furniture stores was still overwhelming until the end of the last century.
Slowly, the workshops and manufactories give way to private lofts, bars and startups. Behind the opera, clubs and restaurants swarm, vibrant outposts of one of Paris's favorite night district.
Despite the rents rise year after year, and most of the wood related shops have closed down or moved away, the neighborhood is full of beautiful and little known back alleyways and leafy private yards, where the sound of wood work can still be heard. In one of them, a meeting is planned with one of the last wood craftsmen in his amazing workshop.

L'Hôtel de Beauvais, cour administrative d'appel de Paris
**Visit one of the Marais's most historical mansions**
Hotel de Beauvais holds its name from **Catherine de Beauvais**, lady in waiting to the Queen in the 1640's. Nicknamed "One-eye Cathy", she happened to give young **Louis XIV**, his first lessons in bed. The mansion is a sign of the king's gratitude.
As a Bavarian Embassy, the building also saw young **Mozart** stay there when he came to Paris at the end of the 18th century, before one of Paris' most notorious gambling place settled there. After the French Revolution, like many Marais mansions, the **Hotel de Beauvais** was stripped from its outstanding decors and parted into numerous flats and small factories.
The yard of honor has now been restored and shows a **sumptuous decor** as well as an original and rare layout, due to the lack of space. The visit will also highlight the 13th century **Gothic vaulted cellars** and a **superb elliptic staircase** at the back of the courtyard.
The building, has retained **the beautiful staircase of honor** from the 17th century, used by so many famous guests. It now takes people and visitors to the modern rooms of the **City of Paris administrative court of appeal**.
Walk in English 25€/person. Includes entry ticket and right of speech.

Initiation peinture à l’huile, acrylique, dessin
Initiation à la peinture à l’huile, à l’acrylique et au dessin.
Venez passer un moment convivial en petit groupe et peut-être découvrir une nouvelle passion.
Le matériel est fourni.
COURS - Les Mains, en détail
En mars, on fait des pieds et des mains! Ces fameuses zones d'interface avec le monde sont faites pour s'y adapter, et prennent donc d'innombrables formes, qui les rendent notoirement difficiles à dessiner et à imaginer.
Sur cette deuxième séance, nous explorerons les différentes mesures, les éléments, et la construction de cet outil polymorphe.
On se retrouve à 19h30, mais qui veut peut arriver au local à partir de 19h pour grignoter, discuter!
Il y aura du thé et du café pour qui veut, il faut retirer ses chaussures car c'est une salle de danse (donc les bottes à lacets attendront une autre soirée).
Paiement en espèces (25€), sur place, et il y aura un chapeau pour qui veut donner un peu plus au modèle! Le matériel n'est pas fourni.
Hâte de vous y voir! 🙂

Life Drawing Session 445 (female) GUY MÔQUET - Long pose
Join us for a long pose workshop with a female model, led by figurative artist John Kelly. The session consists of 45 minutes of drawing or painting, followed by a 15-minute break, and then another 45 minutes with the same pose. John will be present throughout the entire session to offer individual guidance on the principles of drawing and painting from life. If you prefer a more self-directed approach, you are welcome to work independently at any time.
The workshop is suitable for both beginners and more experienced artists. It offers a supportive environment to develop your artistic style while exploring different aspects of academic drawing or painting, experimenting with new techniques, or refining compositional ideas. It's designed to guide your exploration of the human form through an anatomical lens while capturing the model's emotional presence.
As always, posing for you are professional fine art models affiliated with the Beaux-Arts de Paris and other Parisian life drawing ateliers. Please bring your preferred art materials.
All media are allowed, including pastels, ink, watercolor, or paint. If you need additional advice on materials, such as oil paints or watercolor paper, please don’t hesitate to contact John directly at jfkellydesign@gmail.com or send us a message. This session doesn't provide a basic drawing materials set. Once again, please remember to bring your own art supplies.
**About John Kelly**
Born in Paris and raised in New York, John studied at the School of Visual Arts before pursuing a career as an art director and oil painter. He employs traditional oil painting methods while also painting *alla prima*. Influenced by Balthus, Degas, and traditional Japanese prints, his figurative work explores the psychology of the model and the viewer’s gaze. For more details, visit John’s website: johnkellyart.com.

Digital, table-top, non-experienced developers, and the like are welcomed! We'll provide signage for your game to help others learn more about your work. Wifi, outlets, tables, and seats (though standing tables also) are available.
Come to the Prototype and Play workshop to collaborate and meet local game developers for an evening of epic and raw game play fun! Play works-in-progress, show off your own game, work with others to add polish to a game, or even lend your talents to other fellow developers.
Can use South Garage at the Gateway with a $5 voucher on your way out.
