Testimonials


The plaster workshop with Andréas met all my expectations. The explanations were clear, the workspace well organized and the program clearly laid out with well-defined objectives. I really appreciated Andréas’ generosity and professionalism. I was able to make a number of molds of varying degrees of difficulty on my own, under Andréas’ demanding eye. A big thank you to Violaine and Andréas for welcoming me to this old school, a setting conducive to creation.

An excellent week with Violaine and Andréas. The keyword is generosity: both in the transmission of their knowledge and in their welcome. The place, incredibly rejuvenating, is perfect for learning. Many thanks.

An exciting, studious and joyful week of training, which enables you to make your own jewelry afterwards. This old school is an ideal place to learn and reflect on your own creation, guided with professionalism by Violaine and Andreas. Many thanks to them.

Thank you for your generosity, your passion, and for who you are and share!

I must admit that these kinds of learning interludes with such beautiful people (trainers and colleagues) are real treasures for me, and I feel lucky to be able to experience them!!!!

I hope to do it again, again, again until I can’t do it anymore!

Following this wonderful course, I wouldn’t be surprised if our group asked you to organize “Essentials 2” next year.

These days of training are always intense but so much fun!!!! I really enjoyed everything I learned. My head is full of ideas and I want to launch myself into the magnificent world of porcelain jewelry, this time with a good foundation!

The small parts molding course is an indispensable course when you want to boost your creativity, it opens up the field of possibilities and allows you to make pieces with an original design with ease

— Christelle


Thank you both for this warm interlude (even without the sun!).

I loved this training, and this time with you and in your home: thank you for the welcome, the teaching, the transmission, the sharing, everything!

It was great, I loved making the molds and relearning how to work with plaster (and I must admit, it wasn’t easy after my first experience, which didn’t leave me with any good memories…).

— Géraldine


Thank you, Andreas, for your welcome, for this rich transmission, for your patience and your pedagogy.

— Mounia


Very quickly, plaster with all its technique is less frightening and the world of everything that can be molded opens up to us! Thank you so much!

— Cécile


I’m very satisfied with your two courses.

A well thought-out concept with satisfying results for each of us. The possibility of working in metal was an advantage and a plus.

Very large work rooms where one feels inspired.

Your generosity, caring personality and great knowledge were very impressive.

The plastering course was also sensational: Andreas’ explanations made it possible to finally understand the material of plaster.

The fact that we could use the studio for so long outside the course was a dream!

Personally, I love Violaine’s jewelry! This workshop has given me a better understanding of the world of jewelry and the fields open to those who wish to enter it (even by the back door). Violaine and Andreas are very generous and their place is magnificent! The teaching they offer is a great way to get started, and makes you want to keep learning. Thank you to the 2 of them for this wonderful sharing!

— Corinne


Many thanks to the 2 of you for such an interesting workshop! These 5 days of “school” have been intense, joyful and full of learning. You’re real pros, generous in passing on your knowledge! Thank you so much.

First of all, I fell in love with Violaine’s work, which prompted me to take part in various workshops.

For me, these experiences were decisive.

The numerous work proposals helped me to better identify and reveal, in a way, my favorite form of expression.

I have a very clear memory of the moment when I started sculpting ceramics.

It may sound like nothing, but for me it was like a small inner revolution!

Violaine and Andreas are passionate about creation.

They’ve made their place a one-of-a-kind place where you can give free rein to your inspirations, accompanied by their expertise and know-how.

So, as my daughter would say, I recommend “grave” …

— Linda


I really enjoyed this workshop with Violaine and Andreas. The experiments in porcelain are rich and the complementarity with metal work is a real plus.

I was also impressed by the way they thought about jewelry: how to link the different pieces together, take into account the weight of each element and think about fastening systems and finishes.

A very complete workshop, offering a global approach to the theme of contemporary jewelry. An immersion in their workshops, where the generosity of transmission is a real plus.
