Discover printmaker Alex Corkish's workshops: in a parent-child duo or adult group, learn about printmaking, explore different techniques and enjoy a creative experience accessible to all levels.
With the Oddies Attellu workshop, located in the heart of the village of Urtaca and a member of the Route des Artisans de Balagne, discover Tetrapak engraving.
Alex Corkish offers two workshop formats during the vacations: a workshop for adults (from 15 years) and a parent-child workshop (from 8 years), to create unique works together.
