WOOD SCULPTOR AND ART TEACHER IN DIRECT WOOD CARVING
I master all aspects of wood sculpture in direct, figurative and abstract carving: wood species, tools and sharpening, design and creation of figurative and abstract works. I remain very attentive to each student and provide a lot of relevant advice with professionalism and kindness. I am a teacher to guide progression and know how to transmit my passion for direct wood cutting to a very wide audience. I encourage each student to respect their needs and creativity.
