After graduating from the National Lutherie School in Mirecourt in 2004, Étienne Bellanger and Lison Bettler worked in various workshops before moving to Zaragoza, Spain in 2009. They share a strong ethos which is based on the importance of research and collaboration and regularly work together to make violins, violas and cellos.
Étienne and Lison are actively involved in developing their craftsmanship and regularly attend events including training courses, competitions, seminars and fairs. They helped create the “Collectif de Lutherie et d’Archèterie Contemporaine”, a violin and bow-making association in Paris.
Since September 2018 Étienne has dedicated his time to training students at the École Nationale de Lutherie in Mirecourt, France.
