Curiosity, clay and honest craft
Every piece is made with care, curiosity and creativity — from refined collections to experimental studio work. Natural materials, organic shapes, and a mother and her son sharing a small studio in Portugal.
How it's made
Every ceramic piece passes through Maria's hands — and her own kiln
Shaped by hand
Thrown on the wheel or built by hand, one piece at a time.
Finished by hand
Glazed, painted or left raw, each one finished by hand.
Fired in our own kiln
Maria fires the pieces herself, in her own kiln.
Pieces from the learning
Early and experimental work, honestly marked with small imperfections — each one shown openly, so you know exactly what you're getting.
Make something with your own hands
Small-group workshops with Maria, made for complete beginners. Dates, length and what's included are coming soon — join the waitlist.
