The Community of Agglomeration Hérault-Méditerranée and the City of Pézenas propose: "Masterini", Transmission of rare know-how in Arts & Métiers des Métiers d’Art.
From mini to maxi, from hand to body. The idea of this intervention is to produce a spectacular body adornment using a paper-shaping process.
For 10 years, Patricia Lemaire supported learners from all over the world at AFEDAP, in Paris, as head of the “Contemporary Jewellery” department. Since 2003, she has welcomed art & craft trainees into her workshop in their higher education courses: DNMA SERP Lyon, Erasmus (École Boulle / École Supérieure de Design de Valencia), KCF – Seoul, École de Joaillerie de Québec...
The repetition and accumulation of an element, its formal evolution and the intelligence of the connections or fixations will contribute to creating a spectacular body adornment.
Following the example of the body itself made up of innumerable cells whose voids dominate the full ones, we will occupy the space between the body and the world using papers (filters, tracing paper, old papers, etc.) and simple materials. We will approach different ways to inject sophistication, elegance, dreaminess and poetry, where we believe that nothing remains.
The notion of jewelry or adornment on the body cannot do without the question of the body in space, its stature but also its movements. What then becomes of the Body, Adornment and Space trilogy when we tend towards the spectacular? Is this one of the bridges between craftsmanship and art? We will also think about these questions with lightness or depth, throughout these research days.

The Teacher
Creator of the 21st century, Patricia Lemaire develops a universe of contemporary jewelry, sculptures and objects of curiosity, rare and singular. Her techniques are extremely varied: forged, stamped, engraved metal, patina. All materials find favor in his eyes: nickel silver, silver, and brass but also organic fragments, plants, and papers. From gold to bone, including spices, sea urchin peaks, cherry stems, corals or fine stones. It is a matter of pushing academic techniques far to forget them, in the service of powerful poetry.

This extraordinary goldsmith jeweler regularly collaborates with fashion and Haute Couture stylists: Paco Rabanne, Renata, Christophe Rouxel, Olivier Lapidus, Margareth and me Paris...
