WE INTERVIEWED DOMINIQUE, A MARBLE MASON IN THE SANSONE WORKSHOPS FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS, IN ORDER TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HER TRADE.

  • What led you to do this job?

“It was my father who brought me to this trade, it is thanks to him that I was hired in a marble workshop at the age of 22. For seven years, I learned to work with marble, granite and stone. I then joined the Sansone company in 1998 where I was able to share my know-how and perfect my knowledge.”

  • What do you find interesting in this job?

“I love working with stone (granite, marble…). I have a particular penchant for polishing, a task in which I feel very comfortable. Over the years, I have become versatile and thanks to my experience, I am now able to cut with a saw, cut with a hammer and a brichot, sand with a grinder or polish with a hose.

I am totally versatile in the company. I know 90% of the granites and almost as much of the marbles and I can work on all the machines: cutters, polishing machines, diamond core drill, digital lathe… What satisfies me the most is the final result as well as the customer’s satisfaction at the handover. “
