The Studio
Located in a former ceramics factory just south of Seville, the studio is more than a place of work. It is where ceramic tradition and contemporary practice meet through clay.
Each piece begins slowly, shaped by the rhythm of the wheel, intuition and a close relationship with the material. Mediterranean light, the quiet of the workshop and respect for the natural pace of ceramics are part of the studio’s identity.
From the selection of the clay to throwing, shaping, drying and firing, every work is developed entirely in this space. Technique becomes a means of expression rather than an end in itself.
The studio is also a place of experimentation — where forms born on the potter’s wheel are altered, compressed, stretched and reshaped by hand. Through this process, functional archetypes evolve into organic and sculptural volumes, each with its own presence and character.
No two works are exactly alike. Every surface retains traces of gesture, pressure and transformation; the marks of a process that cannot be fully repeated.
Surrounded by shelves of works at different stages, traditional tools, raw materials and kilns, the studio keeps an ancient craft alive through a contemporary language.
It is a place where craftsmanship, sculpture and design intersect, transforming clay into singular works shaped by material, gesture and a distinctly Mediterranean sensibility.
Cerámica Viva
Learning ceramics is learning to be present.
Teaching has been part of the life of the studio for more than a decade. Alongside my own artistic practice, I direct Cerámica Viva, a ceramics school in Seville where more than 150 students currently work with clay, the wheel and contemporary ceramic processes.
The school grew naturally from the studio itself: as a place to share knowledge, preserve the discipline of the craft and create a space where technique and personal expression can develop together. Rather than focusing solely on making objects, the teaching encourages an understanding of material, gesture, rhythm and process.
My own approach to sculpture is present in the way ceramics is taught. Students are encouraged to explore organic forms, repetition, transformation and the possibilities that emerge from imperfection and experimentation. The aim is not to reproduce a style, but to help each person develop a more personal relationship with clay.
Over the years, Cerámica Viva has become an established part of Seville’s ceramic community and has been featured in local media including ABC de Sevilla and Diario de Sevilla.
Teaching and making remain distinct parts of my practice, but they share the same space and the same fundamental idea: that ceramics is learned through time, attention and direct contact with the material.
