Woodturning training
🇫🇷 Master Your Craft: Woodturning Courses in Carcassonne
“From raw wood to masterpiece. Your hands hold the power.”
🌟 Taught by local Woodturner Guy du Toit
I’m Guy du Toit, and I’m ready to share the craft I perfected over 10,000 hours of practice. My journey took me to the prestigious École Escoulen in France (2018/19), where I refined the traditional techniques that transform raw wood into objects of art. My ARTelier is a space where you hold the power to create something personal and lasting.
Escape the everyday noise. Find focus here in Carcassonne. Imagine the satisfaction: feel the texture of the wood, listen to the satisfying sound of the lathe, and know the pride of creation as you take home a unique object made entirely by your own hands.

À mes amis français: While my training and techniques are purely French, please note that my native language is Afrikaans, and my spoken French is *not* perfect. I can also speak English, Flemish and Dutch.
However, I can effectively teach you the same techniques and guide you to creating a beautiful object. Come learn a timeless craft in a friendly atmosphere!
