COURSES AND INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS
In 2006, I set up my studio in an outbuilding next to my home in Savigny, near Lyon, France.
Not long afterwards, I began welcoming participants for small-group workshops. There were never more than four people at a time. The atmosphere was always warm and friendly, encouraging both conversation and learning tailored to each individual.
As my business evolved, however, the space available for teaching gradually shrank. Eventually, I could no longer accommodate participants in my studio, even though I had doubled its size by incorporating the room next door.
More recently, I reorganized my workspace and created room once again for teaching. I am now able to welcome participants back to the studio. This time, however, I am focusing primarily on one-to-one workshops, or occasionally sessions for two participants.
I will continue to expand and develop the range of workshops and training opportunities over the coming months, but two options are already available:
POLYMER CLAY AND METAL WORKSHOP
The first program, called Pas de Deux , is primarily intended for those who would like to develop their practice and learn new jewelry-making techniques using metal. However, it is also open to complete beginners who are interested in discovering this approach to multi-material jewelry.
The goal of this workshop is to create an entire piece of jewelry using sheet metal and wire in brass or copper. From the initial sketch to metalworking techniques, including the use of a torch to solder components together, I will guide you through each step of the process. My aim is to give you the knowledge and confidence to continue exploring these techniques independently at home.
LASER CUTTING INTRODUCTION WORKSHOP
The second workshop is designed for people who are curious about new technologies and how they can be used in the creation of unique jewelry pieces. During this 2½-hour session, participants will be introduced to laser cutting and engraving techniques while creating jewelry that can be personalized and colored according to their own ideas and inspiration. This workshop is open to everyone aged 15 and over.
