When Anne-Sophie arrived at The Parcelles, in Lac-Beauport, she brought more than her own practice with her.

A writer, curator and founder of ORIZON , she imagined her residency as a temporary creative community, inviting Frédéric Leblanc, Pierre-Luc Frattin (Prendre le thé) and Arnaud Ehrlich to join her as they prepared for an exhibition at Le Lieu in Quebec City.

The days unfolded through coffee and long conversations, writing, painting outside, music, shared meals and experimentation. Away from their usual environments and mediums, new ideas—and friendships—emerged.

This is exactly the kind of project we want to make space for at The Parcelles: artists gathering around an idea, experimenting freely and letting the place become part of the process.

Sometimes a residency is about solitude. Sometimes it’s about what happens when we come together.

Highly recommended: read Anne-Sophie’s full reflection on the Parcelles’ Journal. Link in bio.

Last spring, Quebec City–based ceramic artist Catherine Valois (c a v a l ) came to Seaforth to make space for writing, drawing, photography, and experimentation.

Through ceramics, handmade paper, and poetry, her practice explores memory, impermanence, and the traces we carry from those who came before us. During her residency, she turned her attention to generations of women whose stories often leave few traces—those who care, watch over, make, and mend.

Between days by the ocean, a slower creative rhythm, and a new technique discovered alongside a local artist, new threads began to emerge.

Discover Catherine’s practice and reflections on her time here in our latest Journal feature. Link in our bio.

From mud to cup. 🤎

We just received the sweetest gift from artist Catherine Blanchet , who shaped this beautiful piece using clay she consciously collected near the cabin during her residency at The Parcelles.

“On the coast, erosion is very visible. This reality deepened my reflections on the phenomenon and led me to adopt a responsible gathering practice aligned with my values.” — Catherine

Artists, we want to hear from you ✨

If you were invited for a one-week artist residency at The Parcelles, what kind of one-day workshop would you love to experience?

This year, in collaboration with ARTEA , we partnered with Alissa Kloet of Keephouse for a block-printing workshop, and last year we explored screen-printing techniques.

Our local creative community is filled with inspiring artists, mentors, teachers, and speakers, and we’d love to create more opportunities to connect you with them.

What would you love to learn or explore for a day?

Ceramics, natural dyeing, writing, photography, foraging, bookbinding—or something completely different?

Tell us in the comments ✨

More Than a Workshop 🌻 (FR à la suite)

Last spring, we welcomed Catherine Valois (c a v a l ) and MerylCook Engagement by Design , the two artists selected for the 2026 ARTEA × The Parcelles ~ Studio & Stay Dual Opportunity Workshop, for a day of block printing with Alyssa Kloet of Keephouse .

Between carving, printing, lunch, and embracing a few perfectly imperfect prints (as every block printer should), they left with a new skill, fresh inspiration, and a lot of fabric to take home.

We’ve shared the full story—including their reflections on the experience—over on The Parcelles Journal.

Read the article through the link in our bio.

Thank you, ARTEA and Keep House, for making these creative exchanges possible. Stay tuned for the Spring 2027 applications!

Plus qu’un atelier 🌻

Au printemps dernier, nous avons accueilli Catherine Valois et Meryl Cook, les deux artistes sélectionnées pour l’atelier Double Opportunité ARTEA × The Parcelles 2026, le temps d’une journée de linogravure sur textile guidée par Alyssa de Keep House.

Entre la gravure, l’impression, le lunch et quelques impressions parfaitement imparfaites (comme il se doit en linogravure!), elles sont reparties avec une nouvelle technique, une bonne dose d’inspiration et beaucoup de tissu à ramener à la maison.

Nous partageons toute l’histoire — ainsi que leurs réflexions sur l’expérience — dans le Journal de The Parcelles.

Lisez l’article via le lien dans notre bio.

Merci à ARTEA et Keep House de rendre possibles ces échanges créatifs. Restez à l’affût : les candidatures pour le printemps 2027 ouvriront bientôt!
