3 hours of discovery with Owen

Woodworking skills

Your personalised board

The workshop in detail

  • 3h
  • 15 years min.
  • 2 to 4 participants
  • Up to 4 people for a privatization
  • Embark on a woodworking adventure with Owen!

    After a warm welcome, this passionate artisan will show you around the workshop before helping you design the cutting board of your dreams.

    With Owen's guidance, you'll then move on to cutting the wood with a selection of appropriate saws. 

    Next comes the shaping stage, where you'll bring your creation to life by working the edges and smoothing the surface with hand tools (wastrane, plane). 

    To bring out the best, you'll apply an oil finish to bring out all the richness of the wood and make your board as beautiful as it is functional.

    Finally, you'll leave with your own unique creation, which will soon find a place of honour in your kitchen!

    Workshop location

    Owen's studio is located in the centre of Quimper, at 10 bis rue Alfred de Musset.

    Meet Owen

    Artisan Ebéniste

    Owen est installĂ© comme luthier Ă  Lille depuis 2015. C’est en rĂ©cupĂ©rant les outils de son arriĂšre-grand-pĂšre qu’il dĂ©veloppe un vĂ©ritable intĂ©rĂȘt pour les outils anciens. Il se rĂ©approprie des gestes parfois oubliĂ©s et dĂ©couvre le plaisir d’utiliser des outils qui permettent de travailler de maniĂšre efficace le bois sans bruit ni poussiĂšre excessive. Sa philosophie : la valorisation du travail Ă  la main, des matiĂšres locales, des techniques anciennes et la durabilitĂ© des objets. Il se met au dĂ©fi de fabriquer exclusivement avec des outils Ă  main ses instruments de musique, son propre mobilier, et mĂȘme certains outils.

    Son atelier installĂ© Ă  La Cofabrik, un espace de travail partagĂ© regroupant une quinzaine d’artisans d’art au cƓur du quartier Moulins, vous permettra de vivre le partage des savoir-faire et l’émulation crĂ©ative propre Ă  ce tiers-lieu. PassionnĂ© et patient, Owen saura vous faire entrer dans son univers de copeaux et

    de rabots le temps d’une journĂ©e ! Il vous fera dĂ©couvrir le travail du bois dans son intimitĂ©, le plaisir de le voir se transformer par votre action avec pour seul intermĂ©diaire un outil Ă  main.
