Guillaume Froger

Guillaume Froger is a French sculptor living and working in Slovenia. He used to be a specialised stonemason. He worked for five years in France and Canada as a stonemason for historical monuments. In 2009, he decided to leave stonemasonry and concentrate on stone sculpture. He has worked on Strasbourg Cathedral, Orléans Cathedral, Beauvais Cathedral, Metz Cathedral and the Louvre Palace in Paris, among others. He also studied at the studio of Patrick Berthaud, where he learned academic figurative sculpture, design techniques and copying. He also worked independently on the art of stone engraving. A few years ago, he opened a sculpture studio in Slovenia, dedicated to his own creations. He specialises in stone. He has already made busts of historical figures, memorials, etc. He also organises introductory workshops for working with stone. During his residency at the Center Rog, he will be expanding his knowledge of glazes in the ceramics lab. In the FabLab, he will test the possibility of using 3D scanning in sculpture.
