Come rain, wind or scorching heat, they will always be there at the creators’ market! Until August 13, around ten of them can be discovered at Place des Clercs and Place de l’Université, every Tuesday from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Lighting made from local wood
This year, new faces are appearing. Among them, visitors will be able to admire the unique work of Valentinois, Jérémy Nelphe. This designer transforms ordinary pieces of wood into extraordinary ambient lighting. This enthusiast launched into woodworking just six months ago by creating his company LuminArt’. “I transformed my apartment into a workshop”, he smiles. On its stand, dozens of creations are exhibited. “Each one bears the name of a regional environment such as Vellan, Grand Veymont or Croix-Haute”. A nod to the places where Jérémy Nelphe goes to glean his pieces of wood. “I collect different species: beeches, cedars, pines, acacias…”, he says. Whether it is curved, twisted, tangled, straight… the shape of the wood inspires him a lot and each model is unique. Of course, before being transformed into lighting, the wood is cleaned, treated and machined by the creator. Ideal creations to illuminate your interior.
Floral and customizable jewelry
On the stand run by Manon Lopez, a floral journey awaits you. Based in Andance in Ardèche, the designer decided to found her own jewelry brand Rose aux cheeks. This offers a range of creations ranging from rings to earrings and necklaces. “Everything is handmade from and in stainless steel. I work with mother-of-pearl and natural stones. I also use dried flowers with gold leaf inlay that I stabilize in epoxy resin”, describes Manon Lopez. It also offers Greek ceramic earrings and customizable round hoop earrings. Meticulous work for a refined result that can appeal to both young girls and women.
