Assembly of elbows, various tubes, and soldered iron pieces, partly made with recycled materials.

The trumpet is the work of Marc Tiret, blacksmith-sculptor artist, it is 3 m high and 0.50 m wide.

Attracted by wrought iron since his childhood, this autodidact first drew his inspiration from the blacksmith of a village in the Pas de Calais, then from the master blacksmiths of Normandy and the master knifemakers of Thiers. More recently among blacksmiths in Burkina Faso.

La trompette est l'œuvre de Marc Tiret, artiste forgeron-sculpteur, elle mesure 3 m de hauteur et 0.50 m de largeur.

Attiré par le fer forgé depuis sa plus tendre enfance, cet autodidacte a tout d’abord puisé son inspiration chez le forgeron d’un village du Pas de Calais, puis chez les maîtres ferronniers normands et les maîtres couteliers de Thiers. Plus récemment chez les forgerons du Burkina Faso.
