WORLD ART NOUVEAU DAY WORKSHOP

On the occasion of the World Art Nouveau Day, CIVA proposes an intergenerational workshop around stone and the curves that characterize this emblematic style.

During this workshop, everyone will be able to engrave their imaginary arabesque and discover Art Nouveau as well as the profession of stonecutter. Participants will be able to discover the secrets and history of stone while developing their creativity. Inspired by the Aubecq Hotel, they will experiment curves, calligraphy and stone cutting with Marie-Christine De Belder, stonecutter. 
 
This unusual workshop will also be an opportunity to receive valuable information on Art Nouveau thanks to the experts of the Horta Museum who will present unpublished documents to complete this practical experience.
 
In partnership with Horta Museum
