Arts and crafts Gardanne

Since 2006, the Tuilerie Bossy has been transformed into an arts and crafts center, and now boasts over twenty craftspeople - ceramists, ironworkers, upholsterers, leatherworkers, jewelers, fabric decorators, watchmakers, painters and florists - who put their skills to work on your projects. With the recent opening of the Point Fusion Formation vocational center and upcoming exhibitions, the Tuilerie is becoming an essential venue for creation. Open house and guided tours by appointment.

After many years designing for the so-called "ateliers de la maison Vendôme", Zoé has come to settle down in the South of France. Her know-how is especially at your service: a piece of jewelry to make for a birthday or a gift? She'll work with you to co-create all your jewelry, in silver and precious or semi-precious stones. Zoé can also transform your grandmother's ring to the size of the day, or turn it into a fashionable long necklace. Her workshop is located in the Tuilerie Bossy. Attentive and serene, but always creative and professional. A true gem!

Doris Happel has been working with porcelain for more than 25 years and chose it when she moved to Provence in the 2000s. A noble and elegant material that she works for its transparency, first white, then black, red or blue monochrome colors that are inserted like a painting to transform everyday objects. Strongly inspired by wabi sabi, her original work as a visual artist asserts itself in the evocation of a permeability. A demanding artist, whose abundant universe is to be discovered.
