The history of building expertise in fine woodworking
The École d’ébénisterie d’art de Montréal (ÉÉAM) was born of a deep love of fine woodworking and a desire to develop and transmit this hugely rich expertise. Since its beginnings, the ÉÉAM has embodied the creativity and innovation of Québec fine woodworking.
We cultivate curiosity, creativity, perseverance, and self-improvement in order to expand our limits, enrich woodworking, and innovate in our offer of services.
Our interactions with our student communities and our team are based on equity, respect, inclusion, and recognition.
Our expertise, professionalism, and discipline guide our actions and decisions so that we make sure to offer specialized services of the highest quality.
The members of our dedicated team collaborate with and support each other in order to create a warm, accessible, and open ambience for our entire community.
We take care to reduce our environmental footprint and count on the teaching of new and greener methods to accelerate the ecological transition of fine woodworking.
We strive to maintain a beneficial and positive environment favouring health and security, as well as the pleasure of learning, sharing, and working.
