Stained Glass Artist
After working in various professions, my ambition was to create a workshop making glass objects, combining unique creations with creative and educational activities. Today, I am proud to belong to this long line of stained glass artists and to share my passion.
What I love about this craft is that it is complete: it combines creativity and technical mastery.
Being a stained glass artist is a day-to-day job shaped by every light; a profession that requires knowledge acquired over the years, through each piece made. I create, restore and teach.
I offer awareness-raising and training activities in this age-old art, driven by my passion, and I strive to make it accessible by combining warmth and an easy approach.
Located on the garden level in Trouville-sur-Mer, my workshop is a bright, welcoming space, designed from the outset to connect creation and transmission. Around the worktables, glass is cut, soldered and assembled under the natural light that floods the room.
A lively place, where you learn as much as you observe, carried by the nearby sea and the calm of repeated gestures.
