Marie Nguyen is a Montreal-based ceramic artist.
She creates utilitarian, decorative and contemporary objects to enhance everyday life. She loves to explore shapes and colors that bring her joy. She also wants to unite her Asian roots with modern ceramics. A keen cook, she wants to combine handmade ceramics with Vietnamese tableware.
With a collective awareness of the negative effects of over-consumption and globalization on our environment, Marie tries to value minimalist, sustainable goods. For her Confetti collection, she decided to use entirely discarded clay, which she recovers and recycles by hand.
The Confetti collection evokes memories of happiness and celebration. With its multicolored confetti on white ceramic, it is also a nod to diversity. By combining all the colors in small doses, the overall effect enhances the white porcelain with joy.2022 saw the launch of her ceramic creations business, which prioritizes quality over mass production. Each piece is carefully crafted and carefully designed to ensure comfort and superior quality. The products in the Confetti collection are each unique in their own right, since its exclusive glaze deposits particles of color randomly on the ceramic, depending on the gestures and gravity of the glazing process. This collection is unique in that it is created from recycled raw materials.
The techniques used are mainly potter's wheel throwing with porcelain or stoneware. Some pieces are also made by shaping and molding. Marie makes her own glazes from raw materials. The pieces are then fired to maturation in an electric kiln at cone 6 temperature (1220 degrees Celsius).
