Design by Hand | Sèvres' Workshop with Sylvie Hébrard
Description:
Design by Hand is a biannual program dedicated to the importance of craftmanship in contemporary design. It was launched in partnership with Van Cleef & Arpels in 2013. In this series of hands-on workshops, Sylvie Hébrard, an artist from the celebrated Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory introduced participants to the traditions of French painted porcelain. Inspired by decorative motifs developed by Sèvres designers in the 18th century, participants experimented with pigments and techniques to explore design, textures, and color and develop their own sensibility and style.
