For the first video in our series, we met Solène Corlet, assistant manager of the dyeing workshop at the Mobilier National. She takes us on a tour of the workshop, showing us how wool is transformed and coloured for use by
the weavers. In this historic workshop, ancient processes, modern techniques and exceptional skills are combined.
