My guest this week is Agnès Sevestre, a Master Craftsman in Fine Crafts Engraving and the Founder of A.S. Bronze d’art. Agnés is one of only around 150 people in all of France qualified in this highly-specialized art form. She works with metals like brass, copper and bronze to apply ornamentation techniques to jewelry, furniture, light fixtures, silverware and more. Those beautiful handmade butterflies you find crafted around an ornate perfume bottle? That’s the kind of work she does.

Agnès’s most recent project, Archipels, breaks her free from the tiny, detailed work she’s used to as she creates the largest pieces she’s ever made. In our conversation, Agnès shares how she discovered metal crafting, engraving and chiseling, what it felt like to fall in love with them, and the personal nature behind her work.

About Us
Who will be the world's next Salvador Dali, Thierry Mugler, or Josephine Baker, launching a new wave of the avant-garde? How are new artforms created, developed, honed? And where exactly do today's artists and creatives find their inspirations?

Each week, join City of Muses host Jennifer Geraghty as she sits down with contemporary artists, poets, dancers, designers, and performers to explore what inspires them, what their creative processes are like, where their ideas come from, and how Paris has helped or hindered their dreams come true.

Inspiration and creativity meet in Paris, the City of Muses.
