Similarly to Laurent, Thomas studied for eight years at prestigious French trades university, The Companions of Duty (French: “Les Compagnon du Devoir”) to become a master blacksmith and metal fabricator (French: “Serrurier-Métallier”).
Part of the graduation process is to complete a “masterpiece” to show Thomas is spiritually, intellectually and technically ready to become a Compagnon.
It was agreed by his Compagnon elders that Thomas’ final graduation masterpiece was to design and manufacture a set of new windows and that would be put to use in one of their facilities located in Muizon, in the Champagne region of France.
