Reviving Forgotten Trades: Exploring the Festival of Old Crafts in Sart, Jalhay

2023-08-13 13:20:43

Discovering or rediscovering the trades of yesteryear, this is what the festival of old trades organized in the village of Sart, in the municipality of Jalhay, wanted to allow this weekend. Thousands of people came to see the hundreds of craftsmen at work.

Slate maker, clog maker, spinner or doormat maker, a whole series of trades that have become rarer but were once common in the Ardennes. Craftsmen who above all explain their work and show that if the products can evolve, certain techniques are still there.

The public came in large numbers and, as you will hear in this report, everyone left having learned something.
