Terres de Songes

A creative laboratory between crafts, innovation and industry

Founded ten years ago by Violaine Martel, Terres de Songes is born from the encounter between two universes: crafts and innovation. Through ceramics and jewelry, the workshop develops research in which the material becomes a medium for reflection on contemporary transformations of creation.

In parallel with a career in innovation and international development, Violaine Martel builds an artistic practice nourished by the gesture, transmission, and intelligence of know-how.

A question now goes through all of his projects: how to preserve the place of the artist and craftsman in the revolution technology?

Technology is not seen here as a substitute but as a new interlocutor in the creation process.

Through collaborations bringing together artisans, designers, architects, and creators, Terres de Songes imagines new bridges exploring the dialogues between artificial intelligence, artisanal gesture, and ancestral know-how.
