Says Nancy Tikou-Rollier, "I opened the "Joie de Peindre" workshop in October 1973, in Chêne-Bourg. Since then, hundreds of children of all ages have experimented this unique way of connecting closely to one's self, through free and spontaneous hand. My deep-seated convictions and enthusiasm regarding this approach have always stayed close to my heart." (...)

"Joie de Peindre" is open from mid-September to mid-June for children from age 4, teenagers and adults of any age. The practitioner values the creative process and not the end-product; for this reason, all works remain at the workshop, safe from all judgment. Parents view these by appointment.
