Artisans de la Cathedrale, Quebec City

During the summer, within the historic confines of Old Quebec, adjacent to the Sainte-Trinité Cathedral, there exists a unique marketplace. Here, passionate Quebecois artisans showcase their creations in charming kiosks, resembling surprise packages. These skilled craftsmen work with an array of materials, including wood, metal, glass, fabric, wool, and ceramics, fashioning them into the most original and imaginative forms.

For the past 43 years, a group of approximately fifteen artists and craftsmen has been exhibiting their masterpieces in the courtyard of the Holy Trinity Cathedral. Visitors can expect to find one-of-a-kind pieces such as jewelry, ceramics, leather goods, and wooden creations, all meticulously crafted by hand.

Among the talented artisans, Judith Faber, a ceramic artist from Wendake, specializes in crafting small ceramic items adorned with motifs reminiscent of primitive art from various countries. Her repertoire includes plates, candlesticks, soap dispensers, and more, all meticulously created from semi-porcelain clay fired at high temperatures. Each piece is painstakingly engraved by hand and finished with a transparent enamel coating.
