‘I am 51 years old and I’m now Artistic Director of Maison Corthay. I was trained within a guild called “Les Compagnons du Devoir<\/a>“. Les Compagnons was founded in the medieval ages, and regroups the best craftsmen in all trades (stone carving, carpentry, tapestry). I spent 6 years ‘on the road’, going from shoe-master to shoe-master throughout France to perfect my expertise and absorb this extraordinary culture of perfection.\u00a0During my learning I worked in approximately a dozen of different workshops, so it’s really all of these where I learned my work. Practice, practice, practice. I am married and have three children. My parents were always very happy about my choice, the most important for them being that I’m happy first.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
