Kraft, atelier d'encadrement

In the heart of Avenue Carnot, number 27 now houses the Kraft workshop, the workshop of Cassandre, a passionate framing craftswoman. Since last November, Nathalie's Bord de Mer gallery has been transformed into a workshop-boutique where art and crafts intersect and nourish each other. Cassandre is installed there for 7 months (before the reopening of the Gallery). After a first life as a dancer, she obtained her CAP in framing in 2023 at the École d'Ameublement de Paris. She then trained in different workshops and worked for museums and galleries. Now she is moving to Belle-Île to pursue her dream: opening her own workshop. In her Kraft workshop, meaning "to make with one's hands", which perfectly sums up Cassandre's approach, she creates custom frames, using materials such as kraft, wood, paper, lead... Her work is a mix of know-how and creativity, she sublimates the works entrusted to her, while ensuring their conservation. At the same time, she works with Paulin, painter and illustrator, her life and creative partner. Their talents complement and complement each other. Together, they exhibit their works in this space: unique original watercolors framed by hand. Paulin also presents paintings there, in oil and acrylic, he passionately depicts landscapes, animals and portraits. Cassandre and Paulin began selling their creations in 2021 at the Belle-Île markets, which remain a privileged place for them to meet the public. This summer, you will be able to find them there again and discover their latest creations. At the Kraft workshop, come and have your works framed, discover Paulin's paintings, or place an order for a unique creation. By appointment in the afternoon.
