On the occasion of the Prix François-Houdé 2019, come and create a wood sculpture with the artist Emma Senft. During this workshop, the artist will focus on experimentation and play, exploring carving as mark-making to create a variety of contrasting surface textures. She will guide you in the creation of a sculpture designed on a wooden board using carving tools. You will be able to leave with your creation.
