Montreal ceramist Sophie Cousineau creates durable, multifunctional objects to brighten and comfort the senses. The primary colors she uses, the contrast between the color of the clay and the glaze, between the matte texture of the glaze and the bare clay, all contribute to highlighting the raw material.
