5 COURSES IN ATELIER

In our workshop, we design and craft handmade, tailor-made frames in Florence, using only natural materials such as wood and buffalo horn.
Recently, we have specialised in bespoke, tailor-made eyewear for private customers.

We also offer specific courses for individuals or very small groups (2-3 people max at a time) dedicated to those who want to learn or deepen their knowledge of
the art of eyewear: from design to manual processing.

Jochen is the tutor and teacher, and the modules can vary in duration and disciplines explored, depending on the student’s level of knowledge.
The courses available are dedicated to:

1) individual users who, even if only for an introductory experience with the craft, wish to create their own eyeglass frames

2) young designers or aspiring designers who wish to deepen their knowledge of fashion accessory design with a focus on eyewear, bespoke eyewear and sustainable design

3) opticians and optometrists who wish to offer an added value to the services provided in their stores (consultancy or eyewear design).

The courses can be continued by subsequently accessing second-level learning modules dedicated to laboratory application, where students can try their hand at manual work.

WHEN PEOPLE ASK US: “CAN WOODEN GLASSES BE WASHED?” Of course it can!

When people ask us,  “Are they washable?”, can wooden glasses be washed? Better not, right?
The answer is WRONG!
The correct answer is YES!

Wooden glasses are completely washable.
You can easily clean them with warm water and mild soap under running water.
Washing your glasses is always good practice!

Don’t tell me you don’t wash your glasses!

Taking care of and sanitising your glasses to ensure they are always in perfect condition is essential.
You don’t need to be obsessive, but it’s a small rule that allows you to always have good quality lenses and clean wood that you wear on your skin.
With proper maintenance, your glasses will stay like new for a long time.

 

If you need a more thorough cleaning or a complete regeneration of your wooden glasses with a full polish, contact us and we will do it for your beloved glasses….

We take everything apart, clean it and treat it with strictly vegetable oils.

P.S.
However, for us, it always starts with a good clean under water!
