About the place
Matière & Création is a bright sculpture and drawing studio near Canal Saint-Martin, run by sculptor Damien Granelle, who taught for twenty years at the Petit Palais and now teaches at Strate design school.
Classes last three hours in small groups, for complete beginners as well as experienced sculptors. You model clay from the studio's casts, from a photo or from your own idea, then finish the piece and take your creation home with you. It will continue drying at home, but the studio does not fire pieces. Drawing classes run on Tuesday evenings, and one-day workshops cover wood engraving and wax modelling.
A lovely way to slow down after work, use your hands and meet people who like making things.
