Laval Seniors’ Week – Guided Tour and Workshop: Discover the Maison André-Benjamin-Papineau and the Art of Calligraphy
This combination of activities can be enjoyed on your own, as a pair, or as a special opportunity to spend time together across generations. There’s something for everyone!
The experience begins with a brief tour of this historic home. For the occasion, a character from the past will serve as your guide, sharing entertaining and fascinating anecdotes about everyday life in their time. The journey into the past then continues with a calligraphy workshop.
Discover writing techniques that have left their mark throughout the centuries and learn the secrets of writing with a dip pen. Through demonstrations and hands-on exercises for children and adults alike, you’ll explore the techniques, tools, and styles used to pass down stories, correspondence, and precious documents through the ages.
An activity that combines the discovery of a little-known traditional skill with a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
