Atelier Bijoux & Inspirations
Above all, the workshop offers a moment of calm, conducive to simple self-discovery, while building confidence in one's creative abilities. It is a form of meditation that develops the sense of observation. It's also an opportunity to experiment with a variety of techniques, express creativity and learn self-control. The aim is not to complete the creation, but to begin it.

1. Introducing the host and her background
The host introduces herself by sharing her story, to create a warm and friendly atmosphere, fostering a space of sorority and understanding between participants.
2. Icebreaker/Tour de table
To encourage participants to get to know each other, various methods are suggested, including the use of creative cards:
a. 4 to 8 participants:
Each person presents the group with three statements about themselves, one of which is false. The rest of the group has to guess which one is incorrect, thus breaking the ice in a relaxed, humorous atmosphere.
b. 8 to 12 participants:
Participants are paired up to get to know each other in private. They then introduce the person with whom they have been talking to the whole group. This exercise encourages active listening, empathy and humility, and gets the workshop off to a good start.
3. Explanation of models and techniques
The facilitator presents several models (4-5 necklaces or earrings) made using various techniques, such as simple weaving, embroidery on imitation leather and steel wire work. Participants choose their model, then receive the necessary materials and drawings.
4. Individual or group creation
Participants work on their creations, individually or in small groups, applying the techniques presented.
5. Feedback from participants
A moment is set aside for participants to share their impressions: what they thought of the workshop, what they learned, what they would have liked to improve, and what they appreciated most.
6. Closing the workshop
The workshop concludes with a final word of thanks.
