The Verrecchia Endowment Fund is a philanthropic entity working for the promotion of trades and arts around the cutting stone.
As part of JEP2022, and its establishment at the Château de la Maye, the fund offers practice workshops led by resident artists and stonemasons.
The workshops allow a first approach to cutting and engraving on stone, thanks to playful exercises around a letter, a drawing or a word.
Each workshop allows for a dual creative and technical approach. They are limited to 10 people for optimal support. Children may be accompanied by their parents. ---
As part of its program of artistic residencies at the Château de la Maye, the Verrecchia Endowment Fund presents from September 17 to October 1 the works carried out by the Laureates of its 2022 Material(s) Grant around stone, with a wide variety of techniques and practices.
The public is invited to discover them in the exhibition STATE(s) of MATIÈRE, and to learn about stone cutting during the workshops offered on Saturday 17 September at the Richaud space in Versailles.
