The workshop in detail

  • 2h
  • 3 to 10 participants
  • 15 years min.
  • Welcome to Emmanuelle's beautiful studio!

    In this lovely two-hour session, you will learn how to work with feathers. The first half hour will be dedicated to an introduction to birds and their feathers, as Emmanuelle is also an ornithologist. You will play a little game to discover the different feathers and find the birds to which they belong.

    Then it's time to get practical! Emmanuelle will show you the 5 basic techniques for working with feathers.

    You will then choose the different feathers at the "feather bar" for your creation. There is a wide choice of patterns, colours and textures.

    After a bit of trimming and carving, you will place your feathers on a ribbon before putting the finishing touches.

    You will leave this workshop with a beautiful bookmark ready to accompany you in all your readings.

    Plumassière

    Plumassière and ornithologist, Emmanuelle is a passionate artisan!

    As a child, she was always a collector. Her room was a little museum full of pebbles and feathers.

    This devotion motivated her to turn to plumasserie. After graduating in textile design at ENSAV ( National School of Visual Arts of La Cambre), she wanted to do a job that was close to nature and textile design. Plumasserie ticked all the boxes!

    She started working in different workshops to learn the craft before embarking on a course in ornithology.

    Today, she is one of the two plumassières in Belgium and is looking forward to welcoming you to her studio!
