Raw materials transformed by artists and craftspeople

This exhibition reveals how craftspeople, artists and students in training transform natural materials into artistic creations. From Jura wood carved into chessboards to glassmaking techniques from Lorraine, each work shows an approach where tradition and innovation meet.
