Combining know-how, creativity, innovation and training, the Hôtel de la Dentelle (registered trademark) is the high place of points d'esprit founded by Odette Arpin. You enter the world of bobbin lace in the cradle of Cluny Polychrome de Brioude. You will enjoy discovering its many facets and exhibited treasures: a hundred contemporary and colorful creations. The workshop is visible during the visit. A video retraces the manufacture of colored lace, the historical evolution, the technique of this living and working space dedicated to the beauty of the gesture. This Qualiopi-approved training center offers courses for all levels, children and adults, all year round, as well as initiations for those who wish to have the bobbins dance briefly. For your purchases of supplies, models or gifts, stop by the boutique or order online (www.hoteldeladentelle.com). Qualiopi accreditation allows you to use your CPFs to train at the HDLD workshop.
Workshop open all year round by reservation for lessons and internships
