Audrey Gentner is a graduate of the Beaux-arts of Brussels with honours. It is while studying that gilding seemed obvious to her. After several apprenticeship sessions in various gilding workshops, the various craftsmen she worked with passed on their knowledge to her. They have also allowed her to develop several ways of approaching a work according to the restoration to be carried out in order to find thoughtful and adapted solutions.
