Atelier du Sorcier The Workshop

The Workshop will find its walls.

An artists' collaboration plans to restore something medieval in a village in Southwest France — studios for working artists and a retail showroom. Built on earth and stone that has inspired makers for millennia — the same energy that traced ley lines into roadways and carved vortices into caves and castles.
