We are going on an adventure!
Les Artisans d'Azure is a growing company, and every member of our team plays an important role in achieving our mission. The recent merger with Nemesis Workshops is a perfect illustration of this vision. Every week is an adventure in our workshops, with new challenges, inspiring projects, and learning opportunities for our artisans, advisors, and support team.
Meet the extraordinary people who have decided to make the world of LARP their profession and help share their passion for this activity with the world.
