L'Atelier de l'Arbre-Lune is a small craft company based in the Jura. Frédéric creates durable and repairable everyday objects (tools, household accessories, knives, etc.) made from forged steel and wood.
He combines forging techniques with hot steel and woodworking. His objects are created using recycled materials, while at the same time offering healthy objects with the smallest possible environmental footprint.
The manufacturing processes make maximum use of recycled steel and local wood. Energy consumption is kept to a minimum at every stage of the manufacturing and sales process. The aim is to offer sustainable alternatives to mass-market products and to promote local production and consumption.
Frédéric offers :
- courses (from half a day to two days) to enable you to discover and practise the fundamental principles of forging by making an object for your own use (decorative hooks, supports, knives, etc.).
- occasional visits to the forge and demonstrations of the work, discussions on the trade and the place of these activities as a response to the needs of the local area.
