Workshop Journal

We have chosen to bring together in this section the characteristics of the materials we use.

Some of these properties, even if they do not seem directly related to our creations, help to provide a better understanding of the manufacturing processes.

Through these pages, we aim to share the creation of an object from start to finish.

This includes the choice of materials, the stages of purchase or recovery, the decisions about whether or not to use certain techniques, and the reasons behind these choices.

We also explain why certain ancient methods are retained while others are deliberately set aside.

These decisions often depend on practical limits such as cost, time or technical feasibility.

Particular importance is given to the presentation of hand made tools.

We describe the different stages of production, from forging to shaping, right through to finishing.

Tests, mistakes and failures are also part of the process, and we regard them as a valuable source of learning.

Finally, this journal is intended as both a tool of transmission and a means of popularisation.

ur aim is to make it accessible to the general public while also providing precise and useful information for those who wish to deepen their understanding of ancient techniques .
