Straw inlay workshop at Cercle GrandsChampagnes

Initiate yourself to an ancestral craft and make two straw marquetry Champagne coasters.

Artisan d’Art, Valentin BOVE welcomes you for a morning to share an original creative moment. Join him to discover straw marquetry, a little-known heritage craft whose origins date back to the 17th century.

After an introduction to the history of straw marquetry, Valentin will introduce you to the marquetry tools and basic gestures. With him, you quickly move on to the creation of your marquetry: choice of straws and colors, choice of motifs, assembly, techniques and advice, Valentin accompanies you every step of the way.

Once you’ve finished your marquetry, Émilie will reward you with a glass of Champagne: a commented tasting session, during which you’ll discover that the art of marquetry and the art of Champagne have much in common.

You’ll take home a pair of straw marquetry coasters at the end of the workshop.
