I was introduced to wood carving in the early 1980s during an internship in Grésivaudan.
It was when I retired that I really began to devote energy in handling the tools of the sculptor.
I benefit from the teaching of a remarkable wood craftsman who operates within the framework of the Workshops and Conservatory of the Best Workers of France in Saint-Etienne. I believe I have made good progress since then using demanding craft techniques.
My sculpted works are all unique pieces that currently remain in my collection. I present one or two of them every year during the events organized by the M.O.F. : Heritage Days, Open Days, Economic Fair of Saint-Etienne on several occasions.
More recently, I also undertook an initiation to the activity of modeling by regularly participating in a workshop bringing together several creators.
Some modelings were presented during Open House operations from the Atelier de la Création in Saint-Etienne.

I really like this one, the look of the man seems ecstatic, and the white cigarette on the otherwise orange face is very contrasted, and very French! Beautiful! and very well done , congrats
