Ana Miranda Ceramics

Barcelona, SPAIN

"Handcrafted Utility Ceramics."

Ana Miranda has been immersed in the world of ceramics since the young age of 13, having undertaken her first course in the craft. Although she initially pursued a career in design and interior decoration, ceramics always held a special place in her heart. Her journey took a transformative turn almost five years ago when she decided to fully dedicate herself to the art of ceramics.

The motivation behind Ana's unwavering commitment to ceramics lies in her deep love for crafting and artistic expression. Ceramics, in particular, serves as a boundless canvas for her imagination, providing the freedom to explore and create in ways that other mediums simply cannot. As an industrial designer, Ana finds a unique intersection of passion and profession in ceramics, allowing her to infuse her creations with both creativity and functionality.

Ana's artistic vision draws heavily from the beauty of natural materials and the distinctive marks left by the handcrafted process. She appreciates the authentic imprints of fingers, tools, and glaze that adorn her pieces. These marks, left intentionally or through the natural course of creation, provide a glimpse into the intricate journey of crafting each piece. Ana takes care to harmonize and refine these marks, ensuring they enhance the aesthetic while celebrating the craftsmanship. This meticulous attention to detail not only imparts her creations with a unique character but also embodies the essence of what sets handmade art apart from mass-produced items.

With one of Ana's pieces, you can almost visualize the steps involved in its creation, underscoring the rich distinction between the handmade and the industrially manufactured. Ana's brand is defined by a deep connection to nature, a celebration of the handmade process, and a commitment to preserving the beauty of craftsmanship.
