Poterie de Port-au-Persil

About

Celebrating 50 years! After acquiring this beautiful old yellow barn on June 12, 1974, Poterie de Port-au-Persil began upon its quest for ceramic excellence. This unique pottery studio trained and exhibited the works of some of the best ceramists in Quebec. Ever since, la Poterie has continued the tradition of displaying renowned ceramists’ and potters’ work in its gallery. La Poterie’s soul is expressed in its studio, where the general public is invited to create their own pieces of art during open workshops. Reservations required for all visits. For more details about opening hours, activities and prices, visit la Poterie’s website.
