Discovering a new hidden technique with a Parisian artist

Step into my Paris studio for a one-of-a-kind ceramics workshop, where you’ll create beautiful, handcrafted earthenware using nériage, a marbling technique from Provence. You’ll work hands-on with colorful clay, crafting either a plate or smaller bowl as a unique souvenir of your time in Paris. • We’ll begin with an introduction to my studio and the history behind this mixed-clay technique, where layers of different colored clays are cut, shaped, and molded into stunning designs. • You’ll then choose your colors and learn how to layer and shape the clay with my step-by-step guidance. I’ll offer advice or assistance as you need it. • Once your piece is finished, you dry it yourself and take it home in a pretty box. (only for self-hardening clay) Once your small ceramic pieces are glazed and placed in the kiln, the process, from firing to cooling, can take 3 weeks. The entire cycle, including preparation and final unloading, usually takes one month. Please note: you can arrange to collect your finished artwork or request delivery abroad for an additional shipping charge. If you would like to confirm your collection date, please contact me in advance. I can’t wait to share my process with you, sending you home with a one-of-a-kind piece that combines French artistry with your own creative touch.

No experience needed ! sculpt a one-of-a-kind bust in paris

My workshop begins with an absence: the absence of a model. Here, you won’t be copying a face—you’ll be shaping one from within. We’ll start with a few simple guidelines to ensure the key proportions and structures of the face are there, laying the foundation for a harmonious result. From there, I’ll guide you through understanding the angles and dynamics that bring a face to life and give it balance. Very quickly, touch becomes your most important tool. You’ll sculpt not by looking, but by feeling—relying on the sense of touch to sense the depth and form beneath your fingers. It’s an intuitive process, where emotion and form come together in the clay. After years of guiding hundreds of people from all around the world, I’ve developed a method that makes sculpture approachable and deeply personal for everyone—whether you have prior artistic experience or this is your first time working with clay. The workshop is held in small, intimate groups of no more than three people, ensuring each participant gets personalized attention and guidance. At the end of the session, if you'd like to keep your creation, we can fire it for you—turning your sculpture into a lasting ceramic piece and then ship it. You won’t leave with just clay on your hands, but with a tangible fragment of what you carry inside. Insta @haulet_art

Discover Paris by Bike

In winter as in summer, come and discover Paris and its History by bike ! If you love tourism or history, I will be happy to make you experience a timeless moment. I will train you in the pleasure of seeing our beautiful capital and share some important elements about it ! Rendez-vous at the station Cité Universitaire (RER B, tram T3a), next to the newsstand. Here is the planned route (some variations may appear according to your desires and your pace) : Parc Montsouris Place Denfert-Rochereau Port-Royal Luxembourg Saint Michel Notre Dame Ile Saint Louis Rue de Rivoli / Bords de Seine Le Louvre Tuileries Place Vendôme Opéra Montmartre + Sacré Coeur Concorde Champs Elysées Tour Eiffel Champ de Mars Invalides Montparnasse Cité Universitaire There will also be a surprise tasting! Bikes are carefully prepared by me with all the necessary safety accessories. The handles and contact elements of the bicycles are disinfected between each outing For now, I prefer small groups. The electric bike is not necessary in Paris, a city with few hills. The electric bike is heavier, less ecological, less practical in dense pedestrian areas. with a classic bike we eliminate what we eat here! ;-) Helmets and ponchos in case of rain available on request. See you soon !
