Discover the modern possibilities of an ancient craftsmanship!
Upon your arrival at the workshop, you will be warmly greeted by Carine. She will start by introducing you to the space while sharing her own journey. You will also learn the basics of wood marquetry, including the essential tools and materials.
As this session is dedicated to creating a frame, you will then have the opportunity to choose the design and wood species that resonate with you from Carine's selection.
The artisan will then guide you through the meticulous process of cutting and assembling the wood veneer, piece by piece, bringing your design to life. Along the way, she will provide you with valuable tips and insights into working with wood. All that's left is to put everything together and position the pieces on the frame!
In the end, you will leave with a stunning frame showcasing your unique marquetry, which will not only enhance your interior but also bring a vintage touch to it!
Carine, the daughter of a cabinet maker, grew up surrounded by the scent of glue and sawdust. She initially pursued studies in communication and marketing, which she financed through a job in the restaurant industry. It was during this time that she discovered her passion for the craft, which she dedicated herself to for fifteen years!
However, back problems eventually forced Carine to leave the restaurant industry. As she searched for a new career path, furniture restoration emerged as a natural choice, combining her love for wood and her desire to breathe new life into objects.
Today, Carine works in a beautiful workshop located at the back of a vintage Italian furniture store, nestled in the heart of Sablon. Diligent and patient, she is eager to share her expertise and also change the perception of marquetry, which enables the creation of fantastic works of art!
