What’s Madam?
Madam Makery is the plot twist in creative workshops.
Where most expect polite, predictable activities, Madam delivers absurd, funny, irreverent, clever chaos — the Monty Python of artsy sessions, designed to make people drop their guard, laugh together, and spark creativity they bring back to life and work.
No skills needed, no outcome expected other than giggles, endorphins, and more often than not something uncanny you made to bring home.
How does it work?
We start with absurd but powerful ideas: protective monsters, boundary-setting stitched into hoops, Christmas baubles with a wicked twist. Only then do we unleash the materials: foam clay, embroidery threads, glitter, rusty nails… whatever the chaos calls for.
Sessions are carefully guided, so no one’s left floundering — but there’s plenty of space for surprise, play, and sideways thinking. We bring all the materials, set the tone, and create a space that’s deliberately low-pressure and delightfully offbeat.
Workshops are fully mobile, flexible to your timings, and can be shaped around your team’s energy, goals, or vibe — whether you’re looking for pure joy, creative reset, or something a bit weird (in the best way).
Who’s behind it?
Agathe Cury, enchantée!
That’s not me on the picture, I don’t look that French.
I’m known worldwide for screwing up any art project I start. “Signature” knots and holes in anything I craft, multiple needle scars on my fingers, and I have been recently told that I “shouldn’t draw, it’s really unsettling” (see self-portrait right there).
Before Madam, I founded and ran a creative agency. Whenever I needed offsite activities for my teams, I struggled to find anything that felt truly creative and entertaining. After burning out from that high-pressure role, I started looking for workshops to attend. But again, I couldn’t find anything that felt right.
What I longed for were sessions where laughing mattered more than learning, that could bring me back to a childish kind of creativity, yet still tap into my grown-up humour and tastes.
They say if you can’t find the way, create one, so I did. That’s how Madam was born. And because I’ve lived both sides — as the organiser hunting for the right experience, and as the creator designing it — Madam is never chaos for chaos’ sake. Every workshop is carefully designed, adapted to your constraints, with seamless logistics and the option for bespoke events.
