I invite you to come and discover my House of Magic Words. The House of Magic Words is my Typographic Printing Workshop, where I make Poetic Objects. You will be able to discover my creations there, I will give a demonstration of this MAGICAL technique, and I will answer any questions you may have about the profession of Word Merchant. And if you choose to add a Workshop to your experience, you can make a Poetic Object or set Words on paper and leave with your creations.
Gaëlle, +12 years of experience
Word Merchant
My name is Gaëlle. I am 47 and a half. I live in the far North (near Nancy, in Lorraine, to be precise!) My profession did not exist, so I invented it. I make magic words. I am a typographic printer and creator of poetic objects. Yes, I say "printer" because I care rather little about inclusive writing and all those things that put us into little boxes far too cramped for the human beings we are. I believe in MAGIC. And I'm not even afraid to say it. I believe we will change the world by making our dreams come true. I even believe it is our RESPONSIBILITY to make them come true, so as not to pass on to children the sorrows of disappointed and sometimes disappointing adults. I create poetic objects that I need to exist, and I turn ideas into objects because I need them to breathe better. May the dreamers win!
Type cases, stamps, inks, multicolored paper, rainbow ribbons. Wooden and lead printing type, vials and glitter in abundance. The Workshop of The House of Magic Words is a place like few others. WHY? Because it is a place I made by and for myself. I have brought together a host of Objects shaped like possibilities, just waiting to be transformed. I invite you to step inside.
