European Arts and Crafts Week in Normandy

Every year, the European Artistic Crafts Week (SEMA) highlights craftsmanship from all over Europe. In Normandy, this event is a real invitation to discover the fascinating world of artisans and their unique creations.

An unmissable event for craft enthusiasts

From March 31 to April 5, 2025, Normandy will be buzzing with the SEMA, an event dedicated to the transmission of know-how and the promotion of arts and crafts. Cabinetmakers, ceramists, glassmakers, cutlers, bookbinders and many others will open the doors of their workshops to share their passion and expertise.

A rich and varied program

SEMA in Normandy offers a multitude of activities for all audiences:

  • Open studio days: Meetings with exceptional artisans who reveal what goes on behind the scenes of their craft.
  • Exhibitions and demonstrations: Presentation of creations and showcasing of artisanal techniques.
  • Participatory workshops: Experimentation with the gestures and tools of artisans.
  • Conferences and round tables: Reflections on the future of the arts and crafts and the challenges of transmission.
