Workshop

 

In the Verrerie Chapel–the workshop is located in exceptional wooded surroundings on a site which is particularly conducive to creativity. The large size of the workshop enables the artist to have many completely distinct work zones: a space for cutting stone and large-scale sculpture workshop in the basement, and on the ground floor, engraving, drawing, modelling and exhibition areas.

The workshop is also used for drama and music and hosts exhibitions of painting and other art forms.

The Glass Workshop

 

Come and see this unique workshop where you will be fascinated by the glass blowers. These magicians play with fire and juggle with molten glass to coax the red hot material into the desired shape. The marvellous transparent objects they produce are then left to cool before being taken to the exhibition area.
