Ceramic painting workshop & tea party in Paris 11th arrondisseme

Contrary to what is written on the booking, there is a time limit. And it's announced 1/4 hour before the end! Very frustrating... The 2 hours include presentation, placement, choice of ceramic piece, ordering of drinks and sweets, and painting. This means you've only got an hour or so to paint and finish your piece, which isn't enough time...! If you don't have a clear idea before you arrive, it's clearly impossible to finish.

No accompaniment. 30-second explanations.

Free gift. But... Too many people. In a line. So too noisy. Instructors rather rushed in their explanations. Some were even blasé. They didn't even explain a few painting techniques so as to be at least a little inspired. I was left to my own devices. The instructors didn't even drop in to see us. The experience lacked a bit of "soul". All I got was a hot drink, and I thought we were also going to get a pastry, but no. It was written in the brochure that we were going to get a pastry. Even though it was written in the description. And we were pressed for time to finish too. I wouldn't do it again, nor would I recommend this café-ceramique.

Not enough explanation or time

We had booked a snack and when we arrived, there were no cakes. We were served a simple drink. The time limit was a bit tight if you wanted to apply yourself to your painting, and the staff invited us to leave even though we hadn't finished our work at all! Despite these negative points, we still had a good time.

a great experience even for beginners

The activity itself is cool, but in reality there are a lot of things that aren't so cool. Firstly, there was no reply to my e-mails. Then it was written on the booking form that we could stay as long as we wanted, but in reality it was 2 hours from the time we booked. Knowing that we were made to start late and that we had to clean our tables, that's very little time in real life. And lots of other little things that aren't very pleasant. It's a shame, because it has the potential to be very cool.

The workshop was great and the snack very tasty. I would have liked more explanation of the painting techniques, more individuality. But the painting supports and paint choices were very good.

+ : large choice of rooms, well laid out and beautifully decorated space, groups well separated from each other, huge choice of drinks, super good pastries - + : a less-than-friendly member of staff who detracts from the overall ambience of the place, 2 hours is still a short time for set-up + activity + tidying up the table But otherwise a great activity to do with friends/couple/family! It's totally relaxing

Top but 2h is a bit short to let creativity run free

We need an extra hour or half-hour to finish, or maybe ask people to arrive with a motif in mind so as not to waste time (but difficult when you don't have the shape of the room to paint). And make stencils available for people who can't draw. Also maybe a little too glued to the next table. But why not stick to all the tables for a moment of sharing. Otherwise a very pleasant experience. Lovely staff. Lots of choice of pieces to paint. Brand new equipment. Gluten-free option. Perfect! Otherwise great experience.

I had a great time at the aperitif-ceramics! The atmosphere was friendly and the workshop accessible, even for beginners. I would perhaps have liked a little more follow-up and personalized advice during the session, but overall, the experience was very enriching. I highly recommend this activity and will be back for another creative and enjoyable evening!
