The Feel of Wood
The Feel of Wood
Activity details
From stump to branches, reaching the making of objects, to understand and feel the senses of wood. A journey with and against the grain of the wood’s pattern. I will show you how to grasp and choose the designs offered by the wood. We will start with raw wood that I have harvested and end with a finished object. Wheelchair access 😁
The artisan
Emmanuel, +26 years of experience
Wood object maker, marquetry
I come from old families of workers and craftsmen, and I was always taught that "it’s during the last ten years that you break your back," which concretely means moving from the job site to the workshop. I chose to create objects around computing, using noble materials and according to the highest standards, to show young people that craftsmanship is neither old-fashioned nor outdated.
The workshop
Draguignan · Var
My workshop is located in the historic center of Draguignan, and therefore its craft center, 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 craftsmen must have worked hard there in the past.
