The crafts of restoring heritage and theatre

The Métiers d'Art centre of Pézenas was designed around the theme of restoring heritage through wood, iron and stone crafts and, as necessary for Molière, the crafts of the theatre. Restoration crafts are essentially stonework, metalwork and woodwork with artisans that have labels allowing them to work on the restoration of historical monuments. Theatre crafts are currently located in Agde with a prop person who was trained at the Comédie Française. Other trades relate to restoring heritage such as gilding with fine gold, restoring paintings, creating and restoring stained-glass windows, and restoring antique furniture and upholstery.
