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

Over the course of a 1 and a half hour walking tour (entirely in English), we will discover the historic heart of the city with your expert, accredited guide.

In the shadows of the impressive and imposing Conciergerie, you will hear about the Reign of Terror and the imprisonment and beheading of Queen Marie Antoinette. You will have the chance to stand on the spot where a French king was assassinated and hear the unbelievable story behind it.

If you are looking for a cheesy haunted house and jump scare style experience, look elsewhere.
