WORKSHOPS
SEMINARS
 
 
 
I have taught wood turning for almost 25 years and I have trained many hundreds of turners around the world (including over 50 professionals in France). I have also given numerous seminars in: Canada, USA, France, England, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Belgium, Costa Rica. 
My speciality is end-grain turning;  I prefer to work with green wood. 
I offer private, semi-private and group classes in my own studio, as well as   giving workshops and seminars abroad.

I offer international level workshops and seminars every year :

 

In the past years, I've had Jean François Escoulen (www.escoulen.com), Alain Mailland (www.mailland.fr), Johannes Michelsen (www.woodhat.com) and Gérard Bidou (7 books on wood turning). Usually it's something not to be missed!!! Just ask our attendees.

 

I'm also open to your suggestions and I know plenty of great woodturners.
