Atelier Arago

Atelier Arago is an arts and crafts centre in Thuir, France, led by Philippe Gally, a master upholsterer and master craftsperson in the arts. Set in a distinctive former museum, the atelier provides an inspiring place to explore traditional craft and creative practice. Its offerings include professional training in arts and crafts, alongside introductory discovery workshops open to everyone.

These sessions give participants the opportunity to learn about artisan skills and take part in a creative activity. The atelier also showcases its upholstery expertise through exceptional projects and shares guidance on fabrics, materials, techniques, and furniture restoration. Visitors can learn about the spaces and the work carried out in the atelier, while organisations can rent rooms for events and team-building activities.

Gift cards are available for those wishing to offer an artisan experience that includes meeting craftspeople, trying an introductory activity, and creating something to take home. With its combination of skilled upholstery, learning opportunities, and flexible event spaces, Atelier Arago connects professional craftsmanship with accessible creative experiences for individuals and groups
