- Albert Gilles Copper Art Studio & Museum: tour guiado + workshop
Discover the talent behind copper art at this family-run museum
Copper art has been in the Gilles family for close to a century, and their tradition hasn't gone unnoticed! The Heritage Council of Quebec has even acknowledged their talent in copper crafting. The passion stems from Albert Gilles – the genius behind the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré's copper doors – and now the five women of his family bring the medium to life. During a visit to their boutique and museum, you'll have the chance to see their metal masterpieces. They've worked for clients like Pope Pius XII and Walt Disney, and many of their pieces have gone onto decorate churches across North America. Before you leave, you'll also get to create your own copper piece to bring home!
Inclui:
* Guided tour of the Albert Gilles Copper Art Studio & Museum (available in English or French) * Demonstration of the repoussé metalworking technique * Chance to create your very own copper piece to take home (3" x 3" / 7.62cm x 7.62cm)
