Keeping family tradition

Our family have been producing handmade pots for generations, I studied architecture but I always been fascinated with the creative skill of my father; the “wheel-throwing potter”, this led me to leave the field of architecture to concentrate my artistic skills as a potter. During my college years I assisted my father in his pottery studio, at that time he was dedicated to designing and producing unique terracotta amphoras of artisan quality, having made my decision to change direction. I prepared myself by serving as an apprentice to my father and other skilled potters, I started my own business; criative services for the pottery industry in my lovelly region, the north of Portugal.
