A ceramic studio in a residential eco-friendly housing project with a dentist , doctor’s office, grocery store and child day care. The outside space is designed with trees, ample benches, space to play.  With quite a few schools in the neighbourhood, from kindergarten up to high school, there is a lovely happy atmosphere that surrounds us. We occupy a 100 square meter space, with large windows from top to bottom on 3 of the 4 walls.

Often children tap on the window to say “hello “.

The one thing that catches everybody’s eye, are the glazing tests. Yes, we have a lot of them! Both Ion, my studio partner, and I are fond of colour. One wall is dedicated to the display of colour samples, and has shelves where pigments and glazes are stacked.

The heart of any ceramic studio is the kiln.

We have 2 kilns. One is a real workhorse. The other, a small kiln is for a quick firing of tests and/or small badges of user goods.

There is a small designated coffee area and some comfortable chairs to sit and relax.

If you ever happen to come by, you will be met by our studio dog, Sidonie.

She is a tiny miniature dachshund with a lovely temperament, now 10 years old.

Everybody knows her and she is part of the scenery.

Needless to say, she is our mascot and therefore has her own logo, designed by Ion.
