The European Artistic Crafts Days have been organized since 2002 by the Ministry of Crafts to highlight professionals in this sector: ceramicists, marquetry artists, gilders, luthiers, glassblowers, lacemakers, painting restorers… All eager to share their secrets!
On this occasion, numerous free events will take place all over France from March 31 to April 2, 2017.
Several options are available to you, from marked themed circuits to itineraries to invent according to your desires and curiosity. It’s up to you to make your choices from an abundant program, including craftsmanship demonstrations, exceptional open days at training centers, and fun activities for children.
