ateliers
Where painters create
Ateliers is the plural of atelier, a workshop or studio where an artist or designer works.
The French word carries associations of fine art and haute couture that the English *workshop* lacks: fashion ateliers in Paris, the sculptor's atelier.
In art education, an atelier is a studio where students learn by working alongside a master.
