Let yourself be surprised, get out of the beaten tracks !

My workshop is in Isle on Sorgue in the Provence.
It is a charming place in the heart of the old village, close to almost 300 antique dealers.

Welcome in a colourful and pleasant environment with an indoor fountain, music and appropriate lighting. Your visit will please me.

The shop is open as regularly as possible

from Thursday through Sunday morning, 10.00 a.m. - 12.30 p.m. and 3.00 p.m. - 7.00 p.m.

You can come unexpectedly, but I would rather prefer if you make an appointment.
Upon demand, no later than the day before and for a group of 4 to 8 people, I can organize an etching print demonstration - free of charge.
