Sol Desharnais

Sol Desharnais is known for his innovation by bringing new meaning to raw, natural and or upcycled materials. From his hometown of St-Pierre-Jolys, Manitoba, Sol creates unique and useful products by the clever improbable association of materials. His current collections include wooden sided handbags in upcycled vinyl flooring as well as a colourful collection of accessories in eco-felt (wood and corn based).  His design eco-felt and seat belt wine tote has recently been displayed at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in the “Bon Appétit!” exhibition.

Sol is also proud to create employment for adults living with different abilities in partnership with Epic Smile of St-Malo. Sol’s work can be seen in major artisan shows and fine boutiques across Canada.

 

You can find his work at the C2 online shop here.

The C2 Centre for Craft  is located in what we now know as Manitoba, the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Dene, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Inuit Peoples, and the national homeland of the Red River Métis. These lands include territory subject to Treaties 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10.

Craft occupies a space that has the hand and the handmade at its centre. It rejoices in sharing knowledge and solving problems. It stems from, creates, and nurtures community. It allows us to build bridges through shared action, but also fosters courage, empathy, and connection.

We acknowledge the deep harm caused by settlement, and we look forward to using craft in our efforts towards reconciliation and positive change.
