organized by: Femmes d'arts (Marie-Stéphanie Servos et Cyrielle Gauvin)
Far from the traditional image of a “father-to-son trade,” the world of fine craftsmanship is undergoing a profound transformation, driven in part by the growing presence of women in this field. This shift challenges conventional models of knowledge transmission and brings new visibility to female artisans.
What can explain this rise of women in the arts and crafts sector? Are the recognition and opportunities granted to them commensurate with their skills and commitment?
Does this momentum signal a renewal in the ways of creating, collaborating, and passing on know-how?
Through personal stories, lived experiences, and concrete projects, this conversation will explore what it means to be a woman artisan today: her practices, her challenges, her daily life—as well as how she innovates, creates, and claims a rightful place in the creative ecosystem.
