On the occasion of the Designers Open Doors, L’Atelier la Chapelle is opening its doors, inviting the public to step into a space entirely dedicated to ceramics—a hub for research, experimentation, and creation.

Nestled in the heart of Brussels, the studio is first and foremost a shared workspace designed for artists. It provides an environment where the ceramic arts (or arts du feu) can be freely explored, in a spirit of knowledge-sharing, innovation, and collaboration.

Our approach is built on a constant dialogue between ancestral techniques and contemporary tools. Convinced that innovation is as much fueled by heritage as it is by experimentation, we encourage artists to push the boundaries of their practice without ever losing touch with tradition.

For these open days, visitors are invited to explore the studio spaces, meet the resident artists, and attend live demonstrations:
