Rachel Grenon

Rachel Grenon was introduced to the art of ceramics in British Columbia, where she attended a master workshop at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in the summer of 1997. She then worked as an apprentice for potter Vincent Massey, from whom she learned a lot. Back in Québec in 2004 after these formative years, she decided to devote herself entirely to her passion.

In 2009, three of her big bowls of the SWIMMERS series were selected to represent Canada at the prestigious Chungju Biennale, in South Korea. Her work as a ceramic artist was also presented at Wanted Design New York, in 2014 and 2015.

Very sensitive to the reality of artisans, she founded, in 2010, the Roche Papier Ciseaux Bromont contemporary craft fair, in which some twenty exhibitors from across Quebec participate each year.

In the spring of 2019, she had the privilege of being invited to an artist residency on Vancouver Island hosted by the Comox Valley Art Gallery (CVAG), the North Island College and the McLoughlin Gardens Society. Her work was presented at CVAG as part of the group exhibition “Hold being held” in June 2019. This experience is profoundly changing her vision of her art.

A curious and prolific artist, Rachel Grenon is fascinated by the possibilities of clay, which leads her to embark on new projects and explore new concepts.

Rachel Grenon s’est initiée à l’art de la céramique en Colombie-Britannique, où elle suit un atelier de maître à l’Université d’art et design Emily Carr à l’été 1997. Elle travaille ensuite comme apprentie pour le potier Vincent Massey, de qui elle apprendra beaucoup. De retour au Québec en 2004, après ces années formatrices, elle décide de se consacrer entièrement à sa passion.

En 2009, ses trois grands bols LES BAIGNEUSES sont sélectionnés pour représenter le Canada à la prestigieuse biennale de Chungju, en Corée du Sud. Ses créations sont également présentées au Wanted Design, à New York, en 2014 et en 2015.

Très sensible à la réalité des artisans, elle fonde, en 2010, le Salon des métiers d’art contemporain de Bromont, Roche Papier Ciseaux, auquel participent chaque année une vingtaine d’exposants de partout au Québec.

Au printemps 2019, elle a le privilège d’être invitée à une résidence d’artiste sur l’île de Vancouver organisée par la Comox Valley Art Gallery (CVAG), le North Island College et la McLoughlin Gardens Society. Son travail est présenté à la CVAG, dans le cadre de l’exposition collective « Hold being held », en juin 2019. Cette expérience modifie profondément la vision qu’elle a de son art.

Artiste curieuse et prolifique, Rachel Grenon est fascinée par les possibilités de l’argile, ce qui la pousse à se lancer dans de nouveaux projets et à explorer de nouveaux concepts.
