2024 represents an important milestone for Atelier Make. This February marks the tenth anniversary of our moving into our charming space on Gilford Street !! It will be a year of celebrations big and small, one year of retrospectives , giveaways and story sharing .

It is difficult to give a precise date for the beginnings of Atelier Make, but Those who know us well know that it all started more than ten years ago. Even before the idea germinated , there was our small experimental studio in Hochelaga in 2010. Then , there was the Souk in 2011, where we shared for the first time our work with the public. We have received so many wonderful comments on this occasion that it helped us encouraged to continue creating . And that is during a trip to Istanbul in 2012, after having drunk a quantity phenomenal tea​ Turkish that we made the decision bold to make ceramics , our passion , our profession, full time. 

It is in the middle of the pandemic what would have took place our true tenth birthday . But instead of celebrating , we have of juggle to maintain OUR company afloat . Today , we are proud to say that we are always there and very present ! This year will be festive. Throughout the year , we will share stories from our journey , and how over time, Atelier Make has become became This that it is. And of course , there will be a party !! Stay tuned for more !​

Limited edition

There is so much playfulness and experimentation that happens behind the scenes at Atelier Make ! O nly a fraction of what we do it is shared with the public. Here is the first in a series of limited-edition pieces from our personal studios . Throughout the year we 'll share small-batch gems and tell you about the ideas behind them.

Feature 1: Unicorn Mug

Thrown mug, translucent porcelain, gold detail. Quantity: 10.

This mug is inspired by a trip to Paris in January 2023. I (Jaimie) was traveling with my then 4-year-old who , on day-one , fell in love with a unicorn mug at our BnB. The mug in question was (in my adult opinion) nothing special – a generic, dollar store quality mug, inevitably broken. For her it was obviously much more. Follow that with a visit to Deyroll e on the last day of our trip. Mounted high on the wall of this a famous and historic taxidermy shop is a full-scale unicorn head . Indeed !! Needless to say, we now have a 5-year-old who truly believes in unicorns and proudly recounts the story about how she has seen a “real” one. May you find just a little bit of this joy and delight with my version: a translucent porcelain unicorn mug with gold detailing. Ideal for daydreaming during your morning coffee or tea.
