Visites Atelier PYC, artisan tapissier

The PYC workshop is an armchair restoration workshop, favoring the old-fashioned, so-called traditional method with natural materials, animal fiber, coconut fiber, cotton, jute… Pierre Yves Drouyer will take the time to break down all the stages of a traditional seat upholstery, and will come to tell some stories of the Faubourg Saint Antoine, stories or legends of the upholsterer. First, we will go back over the history of tapestry, through a chronological frieze, and then the time will come to explain the making of an armchair. Visitors will be able to try their hand at traditional upholstery. A silver photo will be taken… Recommendation: bring shoes with thick soles, visitors may leave with a few nails under the soles… Good reasons to go: artisanal know-how; unusual discovery; indoor activity Tuesday October 21 and 28 at 10 a.m. Friday October 24 and 31 at 10 a.m. Audience: ages 10 and up Duration: approx. 1 hour Group: min. 4 people up to max. 6 people.
