About

 

 

Looking back over the last ten years in Melbourne I am filled with gratitude to all who have supported my tiny micro biz, but life is asking for a change and it is with great excitement that I am now heading back to Granada, where I have a home in the south of Spain.

I am going back to living slowly and to start new ventures, I will tell more about these the moment they crystalize in the next few months. Stay tuned!

If you are new to this site, just a little about me. Going back over a couple of decades, well before this time in the south, when I was in my teens, I moved from my natal Madrid to London to train in Ceramic Design at Harrow College of Art. It was there, in my twenties, where my first ceramics studio was established, I was then employed by the Royal Academy of Art's drawing workshops, that toured to schools all over the UK.

In the nineties I moved to Melbourne for the first time and completed a Master of Fine Art at the Victorian College of the Arts. My work received awards, I exhibited it in contemporary ceramic's shows and had several solo exhibitions. Some works are included in museum collections:

Currently I am relocating my workshop.

In the new location I will I make ceramic work that blends the slow life of my loved Andalusia with the rigorous training in contemporary craft practice I received during my formal education. In my work I incorporate ceramics, silversmithing, drawing and water colour to explore the poetic possibilities of porcelain.

I have been teaching ceramics and sculpture since the nineties in some of the following colleges 

In Melbourne, I have taught the Porcelain Wearables and Small objects course and the Form and Surface course for the last eight years at
