The method in motion
In the workshop, Alexandra teaches anglage with respect for the hand movements, the material and the standards of the craft. The dual-view microscope, camera and screen allow teacher and student to examine a detail together, understand a correction and try the movement again. Each student progresses with attentive guidance, clear explanations and time to practise.

Read the light before acting.
Width,
bevel, surface and reflection provide the first diagnosis.
Criterion · light
Alexandra identifies the deviation at the exact contact
point.
She names the pressure, angle, support or path, then
lets the student return to the component.
Criterion · path
Train the eye as much as the hand.
Consistency grows from observable criteria,
repetition and documentation.

The light test · interactive experience
Width, bevel definition, transitions and reflection: four criteria for understanding what holds and what needs correction.
Choose a criterion, locate it on the component, then activate the loupe to explore the material freely.
