Alain Vos
Stone sculptor
Valeyres-sous-Rances

« The hardness of natural stone and the way it ages make it an irreplaceable material whose richness gains over the years when the patina embellishes it. »

About

In 1982, Alain Vos began his apprenticeship in the Parietti marble factory in Yverdon-les-Bains. Then, he continued his training in Guin in the canton of Friborg and obtained his CFC in stone sculptor and marble worker at the Professional Training Center in Bern. With his father, Alain Vos, in August 1988 he laid the first stone (natural, it goes without saying) of his company.

« We must respect the old work, including the tools. The main thing is to keep the reading of the facade as it is. »

Alain Vos is a member of the Association Romande des Métiers de la Pierre and signatory of the charter of craftsmanship promoted by the Romand Group of services for the conservation of built heritage. Alain and Jacques Vos’ workshop trains apprentices. Among his prestigious achievements, in 2013 he renovated the facades of the Villa d’Entremonts in Yverdon-les-Bains as well as the copy of a Roman column for the town of Avenches in 2015.
