Marjorie Mikliechuk - Ceramist
Our Artisan of the Month for August 2021
How long have you been a member of L'Empreinte coopérative in Montreal?
I became a member in February 2020.
How would you describe your work as an artisan?
I make functional ceramic sculptures.
Tell us about your accomplishments as an artisan.
I participated in several international gift shows and retail markets in USA and Canada. I also taught ceramics in Nunavut and Central Africa.
Tell us about your favorite products that are available at L'Empreinte.
I make animal planters that are so much fun! My favourite is a yellow dachshund on four wooden wheels with a leach for pulling.
Yellow dachshund planter - available at our Old Montreal boutique
As an artisan, what do you get out of being part of L'Empreinte coopérative?
I have learned so much from being surrounded by the rich talent of my colleagues. I especially love hearing the different perspectives on how to run a business like L'Empreinte.
Do you have a special memory or moment related to L'Empreinte that you would like to share with us on this page?
Not one particular moment, but rather the solidarity I witnessed among my colleagues during Covid and the resilience and ingenuity they displayed to keep our co-op alive and thriving.
Comme le mien, ton seul prénom suffit à nous retracer sur Google!
Je crains que mes réponses à ta question sur comment provoquer des coulures de glaçure sur une pièce de céramique lors de sa cuisson, n’étaient pas satisfaisantes. Ça dépend de trop de facteurs que nous n’avons pas abordés.
Je te recomenderais une amie céramiste, enseignante à la Poterie Bonsecours et spécialiste des glaçures : Claude Prairie. Tu peux la rejoindre par la Poterie Bonsecours.
