Designer-ceramicist
Her name is Alexandra Gélinas. She has a background in industrial design and applied sustainable development. Her passion for the environment, ceramic materials and the digital world has led her to create a design studio in her own image. Studio Minéral allows her to approach both manual and digital work in each of her ceramic projects. Combining traditional and technological know-how is the essence of the studio.
Alexandra is a proud member of Conseil des Métiers d'Arts du Québec and répertoire de Design Montréal.
