SYMPOSIUM

Following on from the Chainsaw Sculpture Symposium held in Foussais-Payré since 2011, come and meet the artists and designers who give a second life to recycled materials, for whom reuse is at the heart of their creations, or whose designs are born from diverted objects (wood, metal, rope, plants, sand, etc.).

Over the course of 4 immersive days, the artists and designers will create a work of art, while exhibiting their past creations free of charge.
