Olivier Le Clerc

Olivier Le Clerc first learned to work with steel while studying at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After graduating, he continued his training with a more traditional technical apprenticeship at a wrought iron and cutlery manufacturer. He then became head blacksmith at the medieval site of Guédelon, before opening, in 2011, his own workshop near Sancerre in central France. Combining traditional heritage techniques with technical ingenuity Le Clerc has gained widespread recognition for his work, winning several regional awards and national prizes.
