PÔLE EXPERIMENTAL MÉTIERS D'ART
At first it was an expensive experience to Pierre Giry, the mayor of Nontron. Given its success, it has become a tradition, and after Espace Paul-Bert, the art professions found their own place in the Nontron castle, a 18th century mansion, which overlooks the Jardins des Arts and the Bandiat valley. Three large exhibition halls are fully devoted to crafts. They highlight contemporary creations from ancestral skills: turned wood art, ceramic and stained glass art, tapestry contention, contemporary mosaic, engraving, brassware, woodwork, design, etc. without forgetting the Espace Lames et Métaux dedicated to art knife, design and innovation in the world of cutlery.
