Mélanie Laplante
Mélanie has been a self-taught glass artist for almost 20 years.
The name of her line of glass jewelry and home objects, MÉLA, comes from the first syllables of her name: MÉlanie LAplante. But, mela also means to gather, to unite in Sanskrit. A nod to the thermoforming technique, fusion, which she mainly uses to make her creations.
A great traveler, she has traveled the world alone. It was during her stay of several years in Central and South America that she learned the making of ceramics and jewelry, as well as the manipulation of leather from experienced artisans.
Back in Montreal, while researching glazes for her ceramic jewelry, while experimenting with glass powder and mixed mediums, she fell in love with this material.
"For me, glass is a dense material that makes light vibrate. I like to superimpose layers of colored glass, which, transformed by heat, forms a movement whose traces can be seen in each piece. I add my own touch, cold-faceting angles to follow the curves created by the heat. A paradox in itself, to rework heat by cold!
The final result then becomes mirrored or frosted to reflect and diffuse light as only glass can."
***
My arrival at l'Empreinte as an employee was the start of an unexpected adventure within an exceptional family of artisans. Applying to become a member represented an incredible opportunity to grow my work within this warm community. The camaraderie and mutual support between members are essential pillars, and as a member, I'm proud to contribute to the ongoing development of l'Empreinte.
How do you see the cooperative making a difference in the world of fine crafts in Quebec?
The cooperative, now in its 50th year, embodies the power of collaboration. It puts the spotlight on the artisans who work within it, captivating thousands of tourists every day and exporting a little of Quebec through the unique creations they bring back in their suitcases! L'Empreinte writes a beautiful love story between local artisans and visitors, contributing to the cultural richness of Quebec.

Aurélia loop earrings - sterling silver
1725600
Regular price $85.00Aurelia silver earrings are the perfect complement to the the silver Aurelia ring from the same collection.
Mélanie Laplante, Quebec glass artist and jeweler behind the MÉLA brand, shapes each piece of her Aurélia collection with passion and meticulousness. Inspired by texture and form, she first sculpts her creations in wax, giving them an organic, almost living dimension. Once cast in sterling silver, these works come to life.
It was on presenting them for the first time that Mélanie heard the first murmurs: "They look like sea creatures... seaweed... jellyfish...". Intrigued by these unexpected similarities, she let herself be inspired and named her collection Aurélia, in homage to the jellyfish of the Saint-Laurent estuary. A nod to the harmony that links art, nature and the imaginary. As we say here: "Tout est dans Tout!"
