An Interview with Thierry Montpetit

We are in for a treat.  Jocelyn Plourde's enthusistic curiousity will be fully engaged when he interviews architect Thierry Montpetit.  M. Montpetit is a self-taught woodworker who mixes media into creative -- often beautiful -- original designs.  We will follow along as Jocelyn noses through M. Montpetit's home asking him about this, that, and the other thing.  When?  Tuesday, March 1st at 7:00 PM in a Zoom meeting, invitation by email.
