In the quiet light of her workshop in Seillans, Élise invites you to engrave what does not fade: a beloved face, a self-portrait, a trace.
For three hours, you will be guided step by step through a sensitive exploration of printmaking. Élise will introduce you to two accessible and expressive techniques: linocut or drypoint on styroglass, a contemporary process of direct incision.
With simple tools and precise gestures, you will bring to life an engraved image, which you will print by hand, on a press or with a spoon.
You will leave with your plate and its print, as one carries away a fragment of oneself.

Multidisciplinary Artist — drawing, printmaking, ceramics
(3) reviews
Trained at the Fine Arts School, Élise is guided by the diversity of gestures and materials. She embraces an open approach, nourished by drawing, printmaking, and ceramics—attentive to the stories each form can evoke.
Based in Seillans for more than a decade, she continues a visual arts exploration between printmaking, volume, and painting, in constant dialogue with gesture and material. Her works emerge from a motif, a memory, sometimes a vivid sensation.
The workshop becomes a human-scale field of exploration, where gestures are exchanged simply, without formality.
To pass on is to invite others to see, to do, to be — with the hands and with the heart.
Just around the corner from a quiet lane in Seillans, Élise's workshop opens like a discreet alcove, where time seems suspended.
This is where her prints, ceramics, and drawings take shape. A sober, luminous creative space where tools stand alongside materials, experiments, and forms in gestation.
Part gallery, part workshop, this place is a direct extension of her gesture. Her works, notebooks, and inner landscapes hang here. It functions like an open-air laboratory, where visitors are invited to discover the gestures and materials that nourish her world.

Un autre atelier avec Élise... encore une belle expérience ! Cette fois libogravure de motifs simples pour les apposer sur du joli papier, des cartes à envoyer et même du tissu le tout avec des encres de différentes couleurs. On repart avec ses créations. Quel bonheur !

Genialissime ! Elise est patiente et très impliquée. Elle propose et n'impose pas! Nous avons fait un atelier cyanotype sur tissu qu'éElise nous a offert au lieu de l'atelier linogravure. Que de créativité !

J'ai fait l'atelier avec mon amie Aline qui nous a inscrites. Que dire sinon bravo à Valentia de faire découvrir de telles pépites et encore merci à Elise pour cet apprentissage unique. Un temps suspendu qu'on n'a pas vu passer d'ailleurs ! Allez-y !
