    He will then show you how to handle the tools, and off you go: you will make your own piece, finished to a standard that will be very much dependent on your skill as a craftsman! 

    You will leave this special workshop with a beautiful object, made by your own hands.

    Woodturner

    Passionate about wood, Marc was just 14 years old when he began his training in carpentry and cabinet making. At 24, he launched his own cabinet making and interior woodworking business. He became an expert: he knows everything there is about wood and works it in all its forms.

    A few years later, his curiosity and passion led him to train on the wood lathe, as well as in the field of wood carving. 

    Marc loves detail and produces stunning pieces. In his large workshop, filled to the brim with different varieties of wood and various works in progress, he now passes on his expertise with determination and a respect for tradition!

    I booked this workshop for my partner as a surprise gift. He didn’t know what it would be about until the arrival. He told me that he liked it a lot. The workshop was interesting and also relaxing after an intense working day. So, thanks to Marc!

    Belle expérience. Excellent coach-artisan, compétent et patient. J'ai déjà commencé la prospection pour acquérir un (petit) tour à bois ;-).

    Une première approche du tournage. Très intéressant d'apprendre à le faire toi-même et de connaître les différents termes de matériaux et d'outils. Pour finir, j'ai réalisé mon propre bougeoir de A à Z. Merci

    Merci Marc pour cette première approche du tournage! C'était extrêmement instructif et m'a définitivement donné envie de continuer dans le travail du bois.
