Atelier Festina Lente

De magnifiques oeuvres réalisées selon une technique qui remonte au Moyen-Âge. Richard Leray est le dernier dépositaire de ces savoirs : un atelier à ne pas manquer.

The workshop of Richard Leray who has the last surviving workshop in Europe devoted to stencil illumination used in the 14 th century for coloring maps, religious images, and calendars. Richard is very engaging and explained his artistic process. Richard also does calligrams or space poetry" - words or phrases where the form of writing itself contributes to the meaning. Definitely worth visiting."

This guy is an amazing medieval, typographer and artist. We visited his workshop a number of years ago and it still sticks in my mind. I even kept his business card. The village is an amazing place as well, with loads of history and an amazing abbey. Classic French place.

Quelle rencontre !Merci beaucoup de nous avoir accordé du temps, et de nous avoir expliqué Jerusalem, c'était passionnant.Les œuvres sont magnifiques et j'espère avoir la chance de participer un jour à un stage.

Buen artista y buena obra. Merece la pena entrar y ver todo lo que hay expuesto.
