Les Vieux métiers, the living crafts

Les Vieux métiers is an organization of over than 200 craftmakers able to illustrate 50 different traditional Quebec crafts in exhibitions and events. The organization has for goal to develop and promote ancient craft techniques and to pass on traditional craftsmanship from generation to generation.
