NATURE AND GARDENSLocated on the site of an old Tile manufacturer, along the rural path of the Canal, near the Dame stream, coming from the Mondragon Forest, a link between the village and the forest.
Created in 2000, it bears witness to the transition between the XXth and XXIst centuries. The Tile factory arboretum was designed, chosen and created by the Soirans Town Council in partnership with the Association of Friends of the Forest and the Environment and the schools in the RPI Soirans-Pluvet-Tréclun.
A natural monument of modern times, the Arboretum de la Tuilerie contributes to the animation and promotion of our village and its environment. The trees that were planted, attached to a land that our forefathers used to make tiles and bricks, are living witnesses for the future generations of the importance of our roots, bringing hope and looking to the future. A link between the village and the forest, but also witnesses of the transition between the XXth and XXIst centuries, the Arboretum de la Tuilerie showcases an openness to the world through the variety of the trees planted there. The species were decided on according to the climatic requirements of our region, the existing forest heritage, the nature of the soil and the available spaces. The planting works were carried out in February and March. Schools and the population have joined this important phase of the project. The gesture of planting is an enriching and symbolic one, which made it possible to demonstrate a citizen awareness and a responsibility towards a common heritage to be passed on.
Some of the 160 trees present: ash, oak, redwood, Serbian spruce, Chinese cedar, swamp cypress, Balkan pine, sweetgum, gingko biloba, Persian silk tree, Canada tree, caramel tree, goldenrain tree...

« La Fabrique » by Amandine ROUSSEAU A young ceramic artist settled near Dijon, she discovered the potential of clay at the Arras ESMAA alongside Jean-Pierre Viot, Haguiko and Vianney Duquesnoy. Thereafter, she completed her studies at the Lycée de la Céramique de Longchamps by joining the CAIC BTS diploma (designer in art and ceramic industry) where she was able to develop many projects that formed the basis of her current work. At the end of 2014, in the middle of the Burgundy countryside and in a village on the border with Franche-Comté, the workshop "La Fabrique" set up home in a refurbished barn. Inspired by micro-organisms, plants and minerals, she draws on nature for patterns to transcribe on clay.

« Lebo Vitrail » by Leslie LEBAULT The Lebo Vitrail workshop offers to develop your stained glass project from design to completion. Based on a theme and taking into account the architecture of the site, a model corresponding to your expectations is developed. Based on your theme and taking into account the architecture of the site, a model is developed. The designs are made in a traditional way (calibration, glass cutting, lead crimping and tin soldering) or by using new techniques (baking: heat sealing, partial melting, total melting). It is a made-to-measure project: the stained-glass window can be put in place (glazing with wooden frame, metal frame or bumper, or inserted in double glazing) or take the form of a painting (framed stained glass). The workshop offers to create unique pieces through custom orders as well as introductory courses on stained glass.

« Borengia » by Arnaud DORNIER The designs on offer here are made from plaster with a ceramic hardness. Three-dimensional welded metal elements form a frame embedded in the object to provide structural rigidity. The object has an engraving which represents the decoration pattern. The patterns are painted and joints are applied to reveal the different aspects of the scenery. The creations are then varnished to give them a satin aspect and reveal the depth of the colours.
