PEPAFLACA

Bologna, ITALY

"Pepaflaca is meant to be worn as sculptural art!"

Colombian born and Bolognan based. After graduating from Art at Los Andes University in Bogota Colombia. Natalia came to Italy to learn how be a ceramist in Faenza a city full of ceramic history. She discovered back then the porcelain as a light material perfect to create her own accessories and start experimenting with shapes and colors.

After so many months of experimentation that's how she arrived to create the iconic Lilu and Little Beatrice earrings. A perfect match of artisan technic and modern design. The slow process is important because of the timing of drying of porcelain so the most important thing in the making every piece is be gentle with the material.

Even though she studied art she consider herself an artisan because she want to keep the traditional ways to make ceramics.
