Colors - where do they come from?

Did you know that the color of your favorite red candies was made from little caterpillars? Accompanied by an archaeologist, your children plunge into history as they discover the different materials behind the colors used in paint. They'll be able to try out centuries-old recipes and paint their own illuminations.

The workshops are held one Wednesday afternoon a month from 2pm to 4pm at the University of Namur.

Participation in a workshop costs €5 per child. This price includes supervision, materials and a snack. It is possible to register your children for several or all workshops and thus benefit from an advantageous rate. Reservations close 15 days before the activity date.
