Lovely place to learn how to work with clay! My friend recommended Atelier Forma to me after I had…read morecomplained about how difficult it was to find pottery classes in the city. After our discussion, I promptly signed up for an 8-week wheel throwing session. In the span of 2 months, I learned how to wedge clay, create cups, bowl and plates, trim and glaze my pieces. It was challenging, yes, but the feeling I got when I held my finished product was more than worth it. What set this studio apart was its philosophy to push students to explore their creativity. We were taught the basics, but after that the sky was the limit. Bojanna, the owner and teacher, was incredibly patient with us and had boundless, contagious energy. In addition to teaching and making beautiful pottery, she also hosts various arts and crafts classes at the studio. Spots sell out fast so I would advise to sign up to the newsletter if you're interested in trying this out. I loved my experience so much that I've already signed up for their open studios!

I first visited this studio through a Yelp event, and I'm so glad I went! Since that hand-building…read moreworkshop, I have taken 3 wheel-turning classes and 1 hand-building class. This is a fantastic studio and Bojana is amazing! What I love about this studio is: - Variety of clay options - porcelain, speckled, black - Variety of glaze options - 40+ colours of over glaze and under glaze. - Warm welcoming atmosphere & positive vibes - Great teachers and students - Proximity to Fabre metro - Very reasonable prices for classes and open studio, both of which come with 1/2 lb of clay, firing, and glazing. If you're looking for a new hobby or place to continue an old one, look no further, Atelier Forma is for you.

I love coffee shops that are not just a coffee shop and Les Faiseurs matches that perfectly…read more The place is decorated in very lively colors and has an amazing vibe to it. The tables are large, in case you want to study or work. I ordered several cookies and a cold brew. The cookies were amazing, I shared them between some friends and no crumbs were left alive. The cold brew was just okay, not amazing but good enough. The space for pottery is large and while I haven't taken a class, I would love to do that in the future. Overall, a great coffee place to visit and support

I discovered this place on instagram and just from their pictures, I knew I had to go. It's such a…read morebeautiful space, it is on the opposite side of the sun though which is a bummer. I visited with a foodie friend on an early Sunday afternoon for brunch and we were really satisfied. It got a bit busy but I managed to get a good table before the rush came in. The menu is simple but they have many good choices. I got the grilled cheese and it was delicious. I also got to try the soup of the day, it was bell pepper and carrot, it was also amazing. Came with little croutons and bread. We also got a piece of banana, coffee, and peanut butter cake. Pretty good for a vegan cake. It wasn't dry and the peanut butter icing was just sweet enough. I had a cold mochaccino with coconut milk and it was ok, I really don't like coffee that much though so maybe that's why I didn't love it. I thought it was bitter still even though there was only a bit of coffee in it. I needed a bit of caffeine to kick start my Sunday and that's why I got it. What I really like about this cafe is that they offer pottery classes in the building over. We could see the class while we ate, it looked fun! They also sell the creations of some of their Montreal artists in store. Service is also very nice and they are very friendly when answering questions about the menu.
