Clara ceramics

Madrid, SPAIN

“Ceramic pieces designed and made slowly to honor the small moments.”

Clara is the founder of Clara Ceramics, the Madrid-based studio from which she designs and produces her pieces.
She has always loved expressing herself and creating with her hands. She discovered pottery as a child, when she went to pottery classes with her mother. She studied Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid. When she finished her fine arts studies and went back to try pottery she completely fell in love with the material and especially the slow, leisurely time involved in the ceramic process.

Clara Ceramics was born as a result of her relationship with time. She always had the feeling that she was not keeping up with time, that she was not in step and slowed down. So when she started making pottery, she felt that she had finally found a space where she and time could fit together. The craft process is full of downtime, waiting, gaps, hesitations, transitions and intervals.... In short, full of human time.

Clara creates ceramic pieces with a contemporary design that, in the face of the speed and urgency in which we live, reclaim the craftsmanship and slowness of the ceramic process. She also tries to create pieces that reflect the charm of everyday things. Behind these pieces is research and investigation into materials, shapes, finishes and glazes that represent his particular way of understanding the beauty of the everyday.
