Excellent experience, I was offered this workshop. Without any particular skill or interest at the outset, you let yourself be convinced and guided by Philippe, who has the right balance in the way he transmits his techniques.

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!

We loved it! Philippe is a great teacher, explaining and demonstrating the essential points and then leaving us to get on with it, while always being there if we needed help. The shooting process is fascinating and the final result is very satisfying. We're already keen to repeat the experience!

Very interesting introduction, full of lessons. Learning well adapted to beginners, with a trainer who listens. The teaching sequence enabled me to grasp all the phases of production and to handle the main tools. The final reward: a completely finished and beautifully refined budding tool. Thank you for this wonderful experience. I recommend it without hesitation.
