PRODUCTION WORKSHOPS
Located at the heart of the Fondation in Cognac, the “Ateliers du Faire” are production workshops (wood, glass, ceramics, etc.) promoting experimentation, knowledge sharing and material hybridization. The residencies encourage cross-collaborations with craftsmen, inhabitants and local partners (companies, associations, collectives, institutions, etc.). The machinery, tools and equipment will expand over time, complementing itself according to the areas of research developed. The public is occasionally invited to meet the artists during workshops or dedicated conferences.
Public events are also organized, allowing artisans or researchers to present the project developed during their residency.
