The Wood Sense
Activity details
From the stump to the branches, arriving at the making of objects, to understand and feel the senses of wood. A journey with and against the grain of the wood’s figuring. I will show you how to grasp and choose the patterns offered by wood. We will start with raw wood that I have harvested and arrive at a finished object. PMR access 😁
The artisan
Emmanuel, +26 years of experience
Wood object maker, marquetry
I come from old families of workers and artisans, and I was always taught that "it is in the last ten years that you break your back," which in practical terms means moving from the building site to the workshop. I chose to create objects around computing, using noble materials and with proper craftsmanship, to show young people that craftsmanship is neither old-fashioned nor outdated.
The workshop
Draguignan · Var
My workshop is located in the historic, and therefore craft-oriented, center of Draguignan, on the street known as the street of artisans and artists. It is part of a dynamic effort to revitalize the heart of the city. My workplace is over 200 years old, and many artisans must have toiled there in the past.
