  • The wood techniques workshop:

    • Preparing surfaces, making flour-based paint, creating casein stain, and using animal glue paint.

THE COMMITMENT TO A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH

Like a music conservatory, the role of this facility, which welcomes you to explore ochre, is to practice and preserve the discipline it aims to safeguard.

The goal of this space is to contribute to the preservation and promotion of knowledge related to ochre production and the application of colourants in various fields such as construction, painting, paper, and artisanal crafts.
