Speakers: Delphine Mangeret, Sylvie Lagrange, France Odile Perrin Criniere and the trainees. The inscription of the Aubusson tapestry on the representative list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO came at a time when the transmission of this six-century-old know-how was in danger. To preserve it, a training of weavers, the first in nearly 20 years, was set up by the international city of the tapestry in 2010 and entrusted to GRETA Limousin. The lessons take place within the training center of the international city of tapestry. The trainees benefit from the equipment of the city of the tapestry, (amphitheatre, museum, documentation center. This training is prepared in 2 years (CAP/ BMA). The teaching of weaving (according to a traditional progression of learning the gestures and techniques of the straightener), drawing, color and the history of tapestry are at the heart of the training. It is also structured around workshops. This teaching connects to the actions of the city: heritage enhancement, economic development, contemporary creation, new markets and new uses of tapestry in partnership with different schools and actors of luxury and fashion.
