Designed for children up to age 10, this modeling workshop offers a fun, artistic experience at the Pierre Gianadda Foundation on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, at 1:50 p.m.

The activity begins with a guided tour of the exhibition “Rodin According to Rilke,” organized by the Rodin Museum in Paris. Through the works of Auguste Rodin, children discover the stages of creating a sculpture, from idea to material, and explore the role of imagination in the artistic process.

Then it’s time to get hands-on: participants experiment with modeling by working with clay and playing with shapes, volumes, and textures. Each child creates their own piece, inspired by the world of the famous sculptor.

A creative and enriching experience that combines cultural discovery with artistic expression.

During the workshop, accompanying adults are free to explore the exhibition.
