All our ceramic tableware is handcrafted in our Montreal workshop. Each piece may be slightly different from one another, without affecting its organic, aesthetic, and functional character.

MANUFACTURING

Ceramics do not obey urgency. They follow their own slow and necessary rhythm. Rushing the material risks deforming or cracking it.

Each piece goes through numerous stages: throwing, initial drying, trimming, then more drying time. Then come glazing, sanding, and, in between, finally firing.

A ceramic piece requires a minimum of two firings. Each firing takes nearly 48 hours—from the moment the piece enters the kiln until it can be removed, transformed.

And in a kiln, space is limited. Certain shapes, like plates, take up a lot of space and require reducing the number of pieces per batch.

It's a slow process, yes—but it is precisely this time that gives each piece its strength, uniqueness, and beauty.

LEAD TIMES

Maison Stoï is run by a small team.
Every object that leaves the workshop is entirely handmade, at an artistic pace, guided by the material.

Some pieces are available immediately. Others need to be produced. Between these two states—ready and upcoming—all the necessary time for their creation unfolds.

Depending on the period and the nature of your order, a production delay may be expected, generally between 1 and 8 weeks. Some shapes, which are more in demand or more demanding, require more time—to be thrown, dried, glazed, and then fired with precision.

To order a piece is to enter into an artisanal rhythm.
It is choosing an object that is not simply taken, but awaited.

Here, time is not an obstacle—it is an integral part of the experience.
