About me 

Hi,

I’m Pauline Marchand Tonel, the dreamer behind the sandman’s workshop. After exploring drawing, styles and colors in art school for three years at école Emile Cohl, I leaned into my love for stained glass and learned all about it at the CERFAV, where I got my diploma in 2024. Since then, I’ve poured my techniques, knowledge and passion this beautiful craft. 


My inspiration comes from the purple reflection on a pigeon’s neck, from a flower under the starlight and from everyday’s fantasy. 

At The Sandman’s Workshop, I design and hand‑craft each piece to bring warmth, wonder, and color into your space. Whether it’s a custom window, a panel catching sunlight, or a small accent piece, my goal is always the same: to help your home feel a little more magical.

At The Sandman’s Workshop, I craft stained glass to bring magic into everyday spaces. Inspired by nature’s colours and fantasy’s light, I design custom pieces, lead classes, and take commissions—each one made so your home feels like a place where wonder lives in the windows.
