About
Workshop Lytfa Kujawski offers dedicated painting and drawing classes for children in one of Paris's most inspiring neighborhoods — the Marais, steps from some of the city's finest contemporary galleries. The studio is run by artist Lytfa Kujawski, who brings a working artist's perspective to instruction rather than a purely pedagogical approach. Children learn fundamentals of observation drawing, color mixing, perspective, and composition through structured but creative sessions that balance skill-building with personal expression.
The Marais setting, at Rue de Thorigny near the Musée Picasso, makes this an especially meaningful experience for art-loving families — you can visit the Picasso Museum in the morning and put those observations to work in an afternoon workshop. The studio maintains a very high rating, reflecting the quality of instruction and the genuine progress students make. Classes accommodate a range of levels, from absolute beginners to children with some prior drawing experience who want to develop further.
Session times span the full week except Monday and Sunday, offering good flexibility for visitors planning a Paris itinerary. Parents with multiple children of different ages will find this a practical option since the curriculum scales well. Given the Marais address and the studio's reputation, booking ahead is wise.
An afternoon here offers a refreshing counterpoint to museum visits, giving children a chance to make art rather than simply observe it.
