From 16 to 19 October 2008

Arts and crafts and their specialities, from feather workers to lacquer workers, from basket makers to stringed-instrument makers … are a source of wonder for many of us, but these specialist skills are still little-known to the public.

The biennial “Journées des Métiers d’Art » event, which takes place throughout France, is an invitation to visit more than 3,000 art workshops. A wonderful occasion to learn more about these exceptional professions, to admire rare techniques and to identify career opportunities in this continually evolving sector. Workshop visits, talks, demonstrations, film screenings, exhibitions … are all part of the programme for these four discovery days.
Not to be missed!
