Our Specialists
Emilie Dion
Before clay, there were words: legal texts, pleadings. A lawyer by training and mother of four, Émilie one day felt the call to create differently—in a more tangible, more grounded way. It was in ceramics that she found this new lease of life. Working with clay allowed her to rediscover silence, time, and meaning. Today, she is a ceramist and founder of L'Atelier Em, in Lac-Brome. She creates simple and sensitive objects, made to accompany everyday life. Each piece tells of slowness, gesture, and material. It is designed to be useful, but also to offer a little extra soul: a curve, a texture, a sensation. For her, there is as much value in the object as in the process: the time taken, the hands searching, the connection with the earth.
