Craftsmanship and design

The Metièrs du Pilat ⁽¹⁾ have always infused their art with a certain modernity. It is this element which makes these craftsmen so special: they work silk, wood, earth and glass etc. They practise traditional craftsmanship which then graces the modern world and they innovate for the enjoyment of the public.
Some of them are grouped within the “ Métiers d'Art du Pilat” association.

“ La Route des Métiers d’Art du Pilat” ^{(2) :} they will open their workshops and share their secrets and passion behind their workmanship. This list is non-exhaustive, it is based on volunteers.
