“Less is more.”

MA Céramiste is a ceramics workshop founded in 2010 by Marie-Andrée Roberge. After discovering a traditional pottery on a trip to Canada, she immediately fell in love with the craft. She then trained for 3 years at the Maison des métiers d'art de Québec. To finance her studies, she also worked in the restaurant trade. It was natural for her to focus on tableware.

She has worked as a ceramist in several countries, including Canada (where she is from), France, Belgium and Ireland. On her return to France, she finally set down her tools in a lovely workshop in Auray, Brittany.

Marie-Andrée draws her inspiration from design and minimalist art. It is the function of the object and the manufacturing techniques used that dictate the shapes and decoration of her ceramics. Her aim is to create objects that are aesthetically pleasing, robust and functional. She is dedicated to designing objects that are both aesthetic, durable, and functional. She exclusively uses high-quality porcelain to provide her customers with durable products for both large and small occasions.
