I had an unforgettable day. Philippe is super nice and very patient. He's a good listener, and even if you don't know anything about woodturning, it's easy to handle the tools. Thanks to him, I realized my dream of creating with my hands. I left with 3 magnificent objects. Once again, THANK YOU!

We loved it! Philippe is a great teacher, explaining and demonstrating the essential points and then leaving us to get on with it, while always being there if we needed help. The shooting process is fascinating and the final result is very satisfying. We're already keen to repeat the experience!
