For millennia, clay has been a part of humanity's life. Present in every culture, it has been used to shape essential objects, tell stories, and pass on skills. Even today, pottery remains a universal language, capable of connecting generations. At FACE, we see this every day in our workshops, where children, parents, and grandparents share the joy of working with the material.
🍂 An ancestral heritage
In many families, ceramics evoke memories: a bowl inherited from our grandparents, an antique jug that held pride of place in the kitchen, a plate with imperfect patterns but full of meaning. These objects are not merely utilitarian: they carry the memory of gestures and traditions.
👩👩👧 Modern workshops that bring people together
Today, pottery workshops are places of transmission and sharing. Throwing a handmade ceramic cup , shaping a small bowl, or crafting a plate are experiences accessible to everyone. Regardless of age, everyone finds simple joy in creating with their own hands and leaving a tangible trace of the moment.
☕ A daily life filled with memories
Using a stoneware mug in the morning, serving soup in a handcrafted bowl , sharing dessert on a small FACE plate … these are all gestures that connect the past to the present. Handmade pieces bring warmth and authenticity to the home, while also becoming objects to be passed down.
🌿 The beauty of imperfection
Each generation brings its own touch. A child creating an irregular piece, an adult seeking precision, an elder valuing simple gestures… Together, these creations form a collective heritage. That's the power of clay: reflecting personalities while creating a shared bond.
🌞 A common thread between yesterday and today
Clay reminds us that beauty lies in what lasts and what is passed down. It connects eras, families and communities, from tradition to modern workshops.
At FACE, our pottery workshops and handcrafted pieces are designed to enhance these moments of intergenerational sharing. Come discover them at our shop-workshop in Morin-Heights, and create your own clay memories.
