Meet Marc
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!

J'ai passé 4h merveilleuse avec Marc dans son atelier. Il est un excellent professeur et un humain chaleureux et ouvert. Quel plaisir de découvrir cette personne ainsi que son art. Et il a partagé son savoir avec moi et avec beaucoup de fierté je suis rentrée chez moi avec deux bougeoirs magnifiques. Je vous recommande vivement l’atelier proposé par Marc ; vous allez y passer un moment magique !
