Marielle Saucier is the artist and crafter behind the textile world of Carré Courbe. She hand-weaves durable kitchen linens from natural fibres that make everyday life more beautiful. She also creates unique decorative pieces that play with contrasts: comforting structures, unexpected spontaneity, squares joining curves.

Her works are divided into three main series. Improvisation volumes, emphasizing spontaneous momentum and intuitive gestures; Volumes carrés, exploring repetition and organic shapes within clean lines; and Improvisation combinatoire, creating a sparse dialogue between curves, embroidery and beading. Together, these series reveal different ways of approaching material, rhythm and texture.

Marielle Saucier exhibits her work in Québec and Ontario, and her pieces can be found in both public and private collections. She pursues an ever-evolving artistic practice, fuelled by experimentation and manual work. At the same time, she teaches and leads textile workshops, generously sharing her expertise and helping to grow a dedicated and curious creative community.
