e creates instruments that are both warm and powerful, characterized by sought-after tones,
Lucas Castera began his journey by earning a degree from the École Nationale de Lutherie de Québec in 2013. From the start, he distinguished himself through the exceptional quality of his work, earning several awards and scholarships. He continued his training by working with master luthiers such as Isabelle Wilbaux and at the Wilder and Davis workshop in Montreal.
In 2015, Lucas joined The Sound Post workshop, where he honed his craft for four years (2015-2019). His participation in international congresses and competitions allowed him to broaden his horizons and provided the opportunity to receive prestigious accolades for the quality of his instruments.
Passionate about manual work since childhood, Lucas also practices beekeeping and horticulture. These activities, in harmony with nature, have nurtured his artisanal approach. Inspired by the sounds produced by bees during harvests and the spectacle of buds blossoming in the spring, he integrates this intimate connection with nature into the design of his instruments. His sensitivity to his environment is reflected in the care he takes in selecting materials and in the meticulous way he shapes each piece, all while respecting the centuries-old traditions of lutherie.
Since 2023, Lucas has been a resident member of Collectif Lutherie Montréal (CLM). Surrounded by renowned luthiers and bowmakers, he benefits from the exchanges and mutual enrichment fostered by this stimulating environment. He creates instruments that are both warm and powerful, characterized by sought-after tones, which reflect his commitment to crafting instruments with exceptional sound quality.
