About Marie-Ange Schmit - the artisan who made these shades

I used to be a salt producer in the salles marshes on the island of Noirmoutier. 

It was a very hard work i have had to stop for health reasons...

My mother in the early 50's was a dressmaker in haute couture... she gave me the love for fabrics...

I was looking for a new job, being my own boss, and which was not at all physical as i have sequels from my former job, i have now a handicap, hopefully invisible...

Then i encountered a great woman Who is a French famous shades maker, Dominique Ronne and one of héros colleague and friend, Céline Couëry... 
Both are shades teachers. 
I have followed 4 stages already to learn different techniques and savoir-faire.
