Handmade in Montreal

Each piece of Loïc Therrien's crystalline pottery is unique, mostly because of his unique glazing technique. This technique is as rare as it is difficult and takes years to master: The firing is done in two stages and requires the use of zinc oxide, which promotes the crystallization of the silica during its re-solidification.

He himself is surprised and amazed every time he leaves the kiln!
