Do you dream of uncovering the secrets of using Roussillon ochre?
Plaisirs & Maisons de Provence invites you to explore the various ochre colouring techniques by participating in workshops offered by one of our privileged partners, located in Roussillon, in the heart of the Luberon Natural Park!
DISCOVERY AND TRAINING WORKSHOP ON THE OCHRES OF ROUSSILLON
We offer authentic workshops on ochre colouring techniques.
Enjoy this fun activity in a former ochre factory in Roussillon!
Depending on your schedule, you can participate in:
The wall techniques workshop:
- Preparing surfaces, formulating and applying limewash, creating fine lime plasters, and fresco colouring.
The wood techniques workshop:
- Preparing surfaces, making flour-based paint, creating casein stain, and using animal glue paint.
THE COMMITMENT TO A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH
Like a music conservatory, the role of this facility, which welcomes you to explore ochre, is to practice and preserve the discipline it aims to safeguard.
The goal of this space is to contribute to the preservation and promotion of knowledge related to ochre production and the application of colourants in various fields such as construction, painting, paper, and artisanal crafts.
