We have recently returned from a great trip back to Alentejo, Portugal where we were invited to visit Casa Cubista's new principle pottery. Not only was it a great pleasure to meet Paulo, the head ceramicist, as well as the painters, glazers and kiln technicians, it was also completely inspiring for me as a ceramicist to see these experts at work.

This team are focussed on both art and accuracy, creating Casa Cubista's collection with incredibly high standards in both make and finish. It was an absolute joy to see Paulo throwing on the wheel, creating exquisite and consistent pieces just using a piece of bamboo as a shaping tool. Paolo uses barely any water when throwing the local terracotta clay, and every possible scrap of excess clay is saved and reused so there's very little waste. |
