The Alter Lego association has just been established and is already offering its first workshop. It will be held this Sunday, November 13 at the MJC in La Souterraine (Creuse).
The goal is to gather brick enthusiasts once a month during a workshop that gives glory to creativity. The Alter Lego project is based on a simple idea: limitations feed creativity.
Creativity as a leitmotif
Félix Beaudouin, the workshop leader, explains the principle:
Each participant uses a single commercial Lego box to produce an original creation. We do not follow the proposed model… Here we seek to mobilize our inventive skills
Such a creation is called an “alternate” and is a recognized colloquialism within the Lego community.
“I want young people to maintain their creative drive and adults who may have forgotten to find it,” says Félix. I think too many people tell themselves they’re not creative, and I don’t think that’s true. We all have this potential within us, and Legos are a great way to activate it,” he concludes.
Express your personality
In its own measure, the association thus wants to help remove young and old people from their screens and at the same time give them the opportunity to express their personality.
In the association’s name, the wordplay with alter ego is not the result of coincidence. “I hope that we will form a beautiful group with values of mutual help and trust”, continues the facilitator.
Collaboration and sharing
The association’s organization aims for this goal of collecting the bricks that were used during the workshop. Each comes with its own box (worth 10 to 25 euros) and these are distributed among the members by a playful system. So we all have access to many more different Legos than by remaining isolated.

Five kilos of figures, dozens of sets and photos: he tells stories with his Lego
Each member will potentially be able to create from twelve different models each year. There is also a kitty system for replacing lost parts.
