Centre Houamla
Centre Houamla designs trails and workshops to give young visitors the keys to reading the objects and the cultures they represent.
From kindergarten to high school, every visit is built around a simple thread: observe the material, understand the gesture, connect the object to its use.
A sensory visit around pottery: shapes, textures and colours, followed by a modelling workshop in the classroom or on site.
An investigative trail through the three rooms to learn how to observe a work: material, technique, function, provenance.
An in-depth reflection on the role of objects in passing on a cultural identity, linked to art history curricula.
A hands-on jewellery-making workshop inspired by the bead-assembly techniques found in the collection.
Teaching packs, printable object cards and activity booklets are made available to teachers before and after the visit, to extend the discovery in class.
Our workshops should be booked at least three weeks in advance. Contact the visitor services team to build a tailor-made programme.
