Les Faiseurs

Part café, part ceramics studio, Les Faiseurs blurs the line between sipping and shaping. Open since 2018 in Rosemont, this is where you can paint locally made pieces in the café, take a wheel-throwing class in the back studio, or simply drink a latte from a handmade mug while watching others at work. The atmosphere is warm and communal—half workshop, half neighborhood living room—filled with clay-stained aprons, soft light, and the quiet rhythm of spinning wheels. More than 15,000 people have learned pottery here, guided by practicing ceramicists who treat craft as both meditation and conversation.
