A millennial history
From play to art
« Enfant, on joue avec l'argile et en grandissant, on crée. »
In ancient times, after the harvests, people sculpted to enrich society with works of art. The work was first done only in clay, then the discovery of wax progressively improved the technique.
It was while working iron that the possibility to melt metal into liquid was discovered. Legend says that a child inspired the idea of pouring metal into a mold. This practice concerned iron and copper first, before evolving toward bronze.
Learning begins with observation. A master transmits the technique, then the apprentice practices it with the materials. That's how curiosity and creative spirit develop.
