Train an employee or a team. Develop a finish. Entrust us with a component.
Three needs, three working frameworks. Alexandra starts from your components, constraints and expected finish: transferring a method, defining a finish or carrying out work after a feasibility study.
Three professional needs
What would you like to work on?
02 · Development
Study and define a finish.
Define the finish you want before moving into production.

Entrust a component after feasibility review.

Anglage training for your workshop’s needs.
An employee to train, a technique to refine, inspection criteria to share: tell us what your workshop would like to work on. We can explore training at your premises or in Les Brenets.
- AssessmentProfiles, skills, equipment, target standards and recurring deviations.
- PracticeBevel width and definition, surface finish, transitions and continuity of reflection: these criteria are inspected and corrected on real components.
- In-house capabilityWorkstation, tools, supports, ergonomics, shared terminology and targeted corrections to stabilise precision and internal transfer.
At your site, Alexandra brings all the equipment and consumables. Your own equipment can be used if you prefer. Training is also possible in Les Brenets, with up to four students.
To get started, tell us who you would like to train, what they currently do and what you would like to work on. If you know when you would like the training to take place, let us know. You can get in touch even if some details are still to be decided.
In-house training case · Urban Jürgensen
Urban Jürgensen: from assessment towards in-house capability.
Alexandra Schmitz supported the team in three stages: skills assessment, training at Urban Jürgensen on its own components and with its own equipment, then advanced work in Les Brenets to embed a shared anglage method.
01 · Assess
Observe current practice and set priorities.
Skills, technical needs and quality objectives defined the programme.
02 · Train on site
Train using their components and equipment.
Each correction was connected to the manufacturer’s components, equipment and in-house requirements.
03 · Refine
Consolidate precision in Les Brenets.
This stage consolidated the method, reading of reflected light, precision of corrections and consistency of inspection.
Shared reference points for continuing in-house.
A shared working method and inspection criteria, designed to be continued within the Urban Jürgensen workshop.
Finish study & development
Define a finish before producing it.
For a new component, unusual geometry or a finish level that still needs clarification, Alexandra can review the component, its access, neighbouring surfaces and expected result. The aim is to establish what is technically coherent and what still needs validation before production.
- ReadGeometry, access, sensitive areas and surfaces to protect.
- FrameExpected result, visual criteria and the limits of the request.
- TestTrial, sample or prototype when necessary and agreed.
- TransferThe criteria can then be explained to the team that will continue the work.
Subcontracting · professionals
Entrust a finish to Alexandra.
For professionals: describe your component and the finish you want. Alexandra reviews feasibility, scope and timing with you before making a proposal. A few lines are enough to start the conversation.
Which requests can be considered?
Requests may include internal or rounded bevels, unusual geometries, delicate materials, prototypes and atypical or confidential components. Material, access, initial condition, expected finish and volume are reviewed for each component.
Qualify
Component, material, geometry, condition and expected finish.
Check feasibility
Access, sensitive areas, risks, required means and volumes — reviewed case by case.
Prepare the proposal
Scope, timing and pricing specific to the request; there is no universal rate.
Proceed with confidence
Work begins only after formal agreement. Confidentiality applies by default: no client, component or assignment content is published without written authorisation.
Define the technique and the practice.

Anglage and finishing
File and micromotor anglage, flank finishing with a cabron, brouillage, satin finishing and polishing gouttes or moulures: the programme is built around the team’s needs.
Black polishing, on request
Specific work on black polishing (poli bloqué) can be included on request. Its scope and practical arrangements are defined for the assignment.
Components and materials
The geometry and adjacent surfaces define the working context. Brass, steel and titanium are all practised during training.
Shared criteria
Bevel width, edge definition, surface condition, junctions and continuity of reflection provide named criteria for observation and correction.
Prepare the working conditions.
Read the details
Alexandra brings all the equipment and consumables needed for the training. Your company’s own equipment can be used preferentially if you wish.
The equipment provided includes Art de l’Anglage’s optical setup, with binoculars connected to a camera. Your own equipment can be used if you prefer.
Travel distance and working arrangements are reviewed before a proposal is issued.
Discuss your workshop’s needs.
Read the details
Share the number of participants, their experience, the target techniques, the components, location and preferred dates. At the Les Brenets workshop, the limit remains four students at a time.
Tell us about your training needsWorkshop questions
Before training or a feasibility study.
Where and how is team training structured?
On site or in Les Brenets, around the profiles, components, equipment, constraints, objective and quality criteria — never a standard programme.
How is progress observed?
Through geometry, bevel width and definition, surface finish, continuity of reflection, and the ability to inspect, correct and pass on the method.
Is a subcontracting request automatically accepted?
No. Alexandra first reviews material, geometry, condition, risks, volumes and timing, then formalises scope and confidentiality before work begins.
