“Is there any older, quieter, or finer craft than pottery?” asks Quebec-based ceramicist Renaud Sauve of Atelier Des Cent-Ans. “The clay to which the potter gives form is a basic material, one of the most ordinary and simple found in nature.” Sauve, a philosophy major turned Cirque de Soleil set builder, segued into ceramics after taking a class at the Centre de Ceramique Bonsecours. He now lives and works in Irlande, a remote town in Bois-Francs, Quebec, where he communes with nature, sources clay from nearby streams, and works in his pottery studio. Juli and John of Mjolk paid a visit not long ago; see their photos here (they also offer select pieces at Mjolk).
