Tortus Copenhagen was founded by Eric Landon, and his brother Justin Landon,[2][3] The studio is based in an 18th-century, truse-style building in a courtyard off Kompagnistræde (No. 23) in central Copenhagen.[4]
Landon also offers workshops in his studios for those interested in learning his techniques and putting them to use.[5] Starting in the fall of 2017, he began traveling abroad to different studios in the United States and Australia to offer similar workshops.[6] He visited New York, Los Angeles, Portland, San Francisco, and Chicago. In 2018, he will visit Brisbane, Canberra, Perth, Sydney, Adelaide, Torquay, Melbourne and Auckland.[7]
