QUEBECOIS ARTISAN'S WOODWORK SHOP AND STUDIO…read more
While visiting Old Quebec, we dropped by Sculpteur Flamand. Located in the heart of Basse Ville (Quartier Petit Champlain), the shop is full of small and large pieces of hand carved wood sculptures. The pieces range from cute gnomes to relief sculptures of people and Canadian wildlife. Above the shop, we saw the studio where the woodcarvings are created.
While planning our trip, we had read how a group of artists in the 1970-1980s transformed a rundown area of abandoned historic buildings into what is now the thriving Petit Champlain district. Monsieur Alain Flamand was among those early pioneers who opened a shop and studio here.
