In
October/November 2006, Cécile Chancerel organized an
exhibition called “Jewels and Enamels of the world” that
attracted nearly 4000 visitors in La Baule, in a prestigious
place “Le centre culturel La Chapelle Ste Anne”.
The objectives of this exhibition were to explain the different steps and
trades in the jewellery manufacturing, from the design to the mining of precious
stones, and the various techniques of enamelling, with professional enamellers
showing their work.
This
exhibition was very successful and allowed the general public
to discover the Art of enamelling, from industrial enamel
to the high jewellery enamelled.
Cécile Chancerel invites you in her workshop, only
by appointments.
