The story & the craft.

Les Ateliers Charlevoix tells a workshop story through apprenticeship. Stéphane Bouchard learned with Joan Côté DeBlois and Marc DeBlois, progressing through kiln and glaze work before the wheel. Official pages place the practice in Saint-Irénée, Charlevoix, and distinguish porcelain kitchenware from decorative raku objects. These are two concrete ways to explore the work without treating every fired object as tableware.

The porcelain page makes kitchen-use and care claims for its functional range, but confirm directions for the exact piece. Those instructions should not be transferred to decorative raku. The contact page provides direct business details and a seasonal visit schedule, including calling first during colder months. The returned schedule is undated, so confirm current hours before travelling. Ask about available pieces, dimensions, packing and shipping when ordering remotely. Apprenticeship history does not establish public classes or commissions, and a displayed object is not necessarily still for sale.
