Specialising in stone, wood or metal, these artisans create pieces that are unique, beautiful and made to measure, to the immense delight of their clients.<\/p>\n

Marble masonry and old buildings restoration<\/h2>\n

Nicolas Boxho<\/a> is passionate about sculpting from stone and marble. He first discovered this art when he was studying agronomy.<\/p>\n

His training began with Jean Bersoux, a renowned mason in the Centre region, before going onto the Coll\u00e9giale de Huy and Les Compagnons du devoir, in France.<\/p>\n

Today, after 5 years of experience in a quarry, this marble craftsman has set up his own workshop and cuts stone for all types of buildings. What he is particularly passionate about is restoring old buildings such as farmhouses, churches and chapels. \u201cI restored a complete chapel just next to Thuillies. I really love this restoration work,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

Cabinet-maker and artist<\/h2>\n

Andr\u00e9 Fevry<\/a> is a wood turner in Nismes. With the help of his wood lathe and other tools, he transforms the raw material and turns it into genuine works of art. \u201cOne of the pieces I\u2019m most proud of is in the town hall of Viroinval. It\u2019s called \u2018le Funamboule\u2019. It really is a piece of craftmanship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whilst Andr\u00e9 F\u00e9vry particularly appreciates the aesthetic and artistic elements of his work, he also makes more functional pieces such as wheel axles or banisters.<\/p>\n
