LONDON — Chanel and The Prince’s Foundation have launched a recent Métiers d’art education program in partnership with le19M, the Paris-based multidisciplinary space, creative hub and base for Chanel’s artisanal brands.

Chanel said the “highly expert” Métiers d’art program will happen at a newly developed constructing that’s a part of the muse’s Highgrove training facility in Gloucestershire, England.

Highgrove is a personal family estate that belongs to King Charles III, founding father of The Prince’s Foundation. The inspiration offers education and training programs to people of all ages in fields reminiscent of traditional arts and crafts, horticulture, architecture and design.

The Prince’s Foundation’s education hub director Daniel McAuliffe said the fellowship will deal with “hand embroidery and beading skills, providing students with access to studio space, expert tuition and materials. Throughout this system there are opportunities for college kids to expand their creative process and presentation skills through contextual studies, lectures, presentations and critiques.”

Six students might be chosen annually and awarded bursaries to assist toward the price of living. The practice-based learning is supposed to encourage creativity, construct skill-confidence and prepare recent graduates to grow to be “artisan embroiderers of the long run,” said McAuliffe.

Chanel said it shares a commitment with The Prince’s Foundation “to preserve specialist artisan crafts and skills and to nurture opportunities for a recent generation. This vision is supported by le19M, which houses greater than 600 artisans from 11 Chanel-owned corporations; the training facility École Lesage, and the multidisciplinary gallery, la Galerie du 19M.

The inaugural fellowship program began at the tip of January. It’s a residential, 24-week intensive embroidery program “designed to challenge and develop creative practice with a deal with skill development and refinement.”

This system is being taught on the newly established Chanel Métiers d’art Training Atelier at Highgrove, and students will even receive tuition at le19M in Paris.

This system is being taught by artisans and highly expert tutors, based on the founders.

Creative directors of the artistic embroidery experts Lesage and Atelier Montex are offering mentorship and guidance, as is the creative director of Lemarié, which makes a speciality of decorative feathers, flowers and needlework.

Emily Cherrington, director of The Prince’s Foundation, said “this partnership with a world industry leader in Chanel is incredibly exciting for everybody related to our charity. We’re hopeful that, by allying our passion for sustainability and craft with the culture and expertise of Chanel and le19M, we’ll equip students with a big selection of creative and practical skills, geared towards high-end atelier studio practice.”

Bruno Pavlovsky, president of Chanel SAS and president of le19M, described the brand new program as an “exciting educational partnership. Our long-standing vision has been to nurture and develop the specialist skills of the Métiers d’art to be able to recruit, train and transmit their savoir-faire to the subsequent generation.

“Initiatives like this program are a approach to highlight today’s relevance of these traditional métiers, ensuring they’ve a legitimate place within the creation of tomorrow. It also reaffirms our commitment to artisan skills, innovation and sustainable development.”
