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.

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.

Normandy is a land of craftsmanship with ancestral know-how. From the blown glass of the Bresle Valley to the earthenware of Rouen and the Aubusson tapestry, the region is full of talents who perpetuate traditions while innovating.

Whether you are curious, an art lover or looking for a career change, the SEMA is a unique opportunity to dive into a world where passion, patience and excellence are the key words. This event is also a great opportunity to support local crafts and interact with passionate professionals.
