Become a cutler for a day at a workshop in Thiers

Put on your black apron and step through the workshop door. Here, every movement counts. The steel comes to life in your hands, guided by a passionate artisan who, step by step, shares with you the secrets of Thiers’ iconic craftsmanship. The hammer echoes off the anvil. The tools set the rhythm of your progress. You drill, assemble, adjust, and shape… The feel of wood and metal, the scent of the materials being worked, and the precision of your movements immerse you in the world of cutlery. Under your hands, your knife gradually takes shape. As the workshop unfolds, simple assembly becomes a true act of creation. Each step brings you closer to a unique object, born of your patience, concentration, and skill. Finally, the moment comes to engrave your first name: the finishing touch that makes this knife your own. You’ll leave with much more than just a beautiful object. You’ll take with you the deep satisfaction of having created something with your own hands, the pride of having brought a one-of-a-kind piece to life, and the memory of an authentic immersion in the world of Thiers’ cutlers. Highlights of this experience • Meet a craftsman who shares his craft and his story with you. • Experience the techniques of knife-making by creating your own piece.
