Olivier Grieb
Facteur d'arc
La Sarraz

« Anxious to preserve tradition, I like precise work, working with precious woods and giving shape to arches, which connects me to the very nature of the craftsmanship. »

Olivier Grieb is a bow maker at La Sarraz. In 1999, he trained in bow making with Jean-Marie Coche and then founded his own workshop in order to self-taught his knowledge of building and creating bows. His solid experience has enabled him to acquire his own identity as an arc factor.

« When I create, I feel imbued with this primitive force of simple gestures. I like to give “a second life” to wood, which was a tree before manufacturing. »

Located in the former "Filature" factory in La Sarraz, Olivier Grieb’s workshop is known for its mastery of the modern technique of glued laminated wood. It offers a wide variety of bow models with different curvatures tailored to the needs of the archer. Appreciating the discipline of shooting in the forest, on courses or in clubs, he organizes courses and training courses during which he teaches instinctive archery.
