It was in 1978 that the Locronan art glass opened its doors. Under our eyes, Jean-Pierre Chevalier, master verrier, rolls, mould, cut, blows the glass in fusion to give birth to the transparent beauty of original parts: art and luxury staircase balls, sculptures, vases and cup, figurines, glasses, etc. All its original works are light, colour and grace. The artist is constantly adding new pieces every year. Also discover the Internet.

This artist's studio near the cable car is aptly named: Mono means unique, as do the works you'll find here and this wonderful encounter with the artist, Gaëlle Thuayre, who will welcome you in all simplicity.

Engravings, paintings, watercolours, but also a cabinet of curiosities, Gaëlle dabbles in all techniques without restricting herself. Her primary inspiration: nature and its emotions.

The stone store adjoining ceramist Jeanne-Sarah's studio is a veritable Ali Baba's cave. The atmosphere is serene and shimmering, in stark contrast to the exterior of the old barn.

In the midst of this world of poetry and Breton lace are unique ceramic pieces created with passion. But her main attraction lies in her powerful yet graceful sculptures of women, evoking those who go whatever the cost.
