Discovery visits
Age? 4 to 6 year olds
When ? From Tuesday afternoon to Saturday (9AM-12PM/2PM-6.30PM) by appointment, except on public holidays.
How ? Each child touches the raw materials: cocoons, silk threads, bobbins, diverse silk fabrics.
A simple weaving technique is demonstrated to help them understand how the threads interlace and compose a fabric. Then, we will demonstrate the “real trimming looms” for the kids for a sonorous display! A surprise is waiting for them at the end of the tour!
Lenght? 45 minutes
Maxi : 10 pupils
NB: if your group exceeds 10 members, you can keep the children busy (while are waiting for their tours) with a booklet allowing them to discover the neighbourhood.
