In the summer of 2022, the International City of Tapestry will devote an exhibition to the representation of vegetal tapestry, a unifying theme that spans the entire history of weaving in Aubusson. In order to extend the exhibition, the Cité has created within its permanent circuit «Tisser la nature» which allows visitors to discover other works on this theme.
A guided tour of these works in the Nave of Drapes will be offered.

Rue des arts, 23200 Aubusson

The registration(inscription) in 2009 of the tapestry of Aubusson on the list representative of the intangible Cultural heritage of the humanity by the UNESCO intervened at a moment when the transmission of this old know-how of the six centuries was in danger. To preserve him(it), the International City(Estate) of tapestry wished in 2010, to set up a training(formation) of lissiers, the first one(night) since almost 20 years. The organisation and the implementation were confided(entrusted) to GRETA of Limousin who set up a route(course) of training(formation) over 2 years (COURSE(CAPE) and Patent(Certificate) of the Jobs(Businesses) by art). The pupils benefit from equipments of the City(Estate) of tapestry, as from direct access to collections. All teachings are bound(connected) to the actions(shares) of the City(Estate): promotion(valuation) of heritage, contemporary creation, partnership with different schools and actors of luxury and of fashion.
