Perfect experience for the amateur that I am. Getting to grips with the lathe is easy and natural, when it should be intimidating. All this was made possible by Philippe's superb advice and guidance. Thanks again, Philippe.

Great time shared with Philippe, very pleasant, pedagogic and patient! An unforgettable moment, sharing his passion for woodturning, an art that Philippe makes accessible to all. Thank you for this great moment in Duo (Trio with Philippe), we left with 2 beautiful objects and a magnificent totem ;)

I had an unforgettable day. Philippe is super nice and very patient. He's a good listener, and even if you don't know anything about woodturning, it's easy to handle the tools. Thanks to him, I realized my dream of creating with my hands. I left with 3 magnificent objects. Once again, THANK YOU!
