Association Soierie Vivante in the heart of the Croix-Rousse, offering playful and educational workshops for children from 4 to 6 years old.
The Soierie vivante association offers a journey back in time to the heart of the Croix-Rousse. By bringing back to life the last workshops of the "canuts", you can discover the art of weaving and the life of Lyonnais weavers in the 19th century. Demonstrations of the imposing Jacquard looms are fascinating. What's more, the association offers fun and educational workshops for children aged 4 to 12, who can learn about weaving and leave with their own creation. It's a fascinating immersion in the history of Lyonnais silk that should appeal to the whole family.

Members' reviews on LIVING SILK ASSOCIATION
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
C'est une association pleine de vie, soucieuse du patrimoine qu'elle préserve, et du savoir qu'elle veut transmettre. Nul doute que Madame LÉTOURNEAU (qui possèdait l'atelier et a travaillé dedans de très nombreuses années) serait fière de voir toutes ces personnes œuvrer à conserver ses métiers et son savoir-faire !
Mention particulière pour Hélène, Margaux et Emmanuel qui m'auront beaucoup appris pendant ce stage ! Et longue vie à Soierie Vivante !

我們全家一起參加了編織活動，在自己的小織布機前，學習如何將經線與緯線交叉、製作出自己的織物。 活動結束跟著導覽了解有關提花編織和機械的一切，還能親眼看到操作人員使用協會保存下來的織布機、非常有意思。
