À fleur de terre is a workshop-boutique specializing in the distribution, teaching and production of hand-turned ceramics of quality craftsmanship. We offer a space for the dissemination and practice of ceramics for the community by offering a shop space, teaching for the general public, space rental for free workshops as well as a production space for ceramists. We thus wish to promote the work of ceramists from here but also of local artisans and crafts, more specifically in tableware and art of living. The workshop-boutique offers a workshop equipped and specific to the needs of those who wish to practice this know-how. Following the participation of the clientele in our ceramics training and workshops, they will be able to rent the pottery wheels in free workshops, the service of firing the pieces and thus have the possibility of continuing to create while using the equipment necessary for the practice of ceramics for all. The workshop-boutique À fleur de terre is also inhabited by the complete production of the collection of utilitarian pieces by the ceramist Stéphanie Fauteux.
