Things to do in Charleston, South Carolina
Our workshops are perfect for those who love to get crafty, and to learn something new. The classes are ideal for beginners or experienced painters. Enjoy the ambience and smells of a French bakery while we paint!
Watercolor Class meets Cake Decorating
We’ll begin the workshop at a French chocolatier, Christophe's Macaron et Chocolat, located in West Ashley. I’ll start the class off with a watercolor tutorial and show you examples of different brush strokes and painting techniques.
Our workshops take place inside a French cafe filled with delicious handmade treats, and the smell of coffee.
As you gather inspiration for your designs and practice on paper, i’ll go over a brief history of the delicious macaron. Chef Christophe, hand-makes the macaron we will be painting.
Using gel based food coloring, we will apply the watercolor techniques we learned to paint the macarons.
Get to know each other around the work table and enjoy the smells of the bakery. When you’ve finished your creations we will wrap them in a beautiful 6 piece gift box, which makes a delicious souvenir of Charleston.
You’ll be ready to decorate the dessert for the next party you host!
After the workshop, I recommend taking a stroll around the chocolate shop to see if anything catches your eye!
Enjoy learning a new skill while on vacation. Some of my very favorite memories from our trips have come from taking a class--like cheese making in Paris!
You may feel like you're in Paris too. Order a french press from the cafe and flaky butter croissant while you work alongside your family or friends. Chef Christophe specializes in chocolate truffles and decadent desserts made of chocolate.
We can also host our macaron painting classes on our flower farm on Johns Island, SC. These classes will take place outdoors in our flower field.
