Caterina Roma

The experimentation with different plastic arts when I was very young lead  me to choose ceramics as my form of expression. From then on, I combined my academic studies and professional career with the training on ceramic techniques with various ceramics masters.

On 2011, I set up a ceramic studio and focused exclusively on ceramics: design, production and commercialization of ceramic collections, both of unique pieces (wood- fired and wild clay) and dinnerware (electric kiln, porcelain and stoneware) for art galleries, interior designers, Michelin starred restaurants and luxury hotels world-wide. 

Being a self-taught ceramist from a very young age has given me a rare freedom to create by intuition and observation. I've been able to explore the possibilities and limits of the materials and techniques without prejudice, judging by experience and following instinct. 

Digging my own clay, processing rocks and plants for glazing, building my own wood-kiln in the forest for firing the pots is my way to touch the essential sensitivity of wild beauty. 

In 2014 I built my own wood-kiln, under the direction of Robert Sanderson and Coll Minogue. Of 1,5m3 of capacity, the kiln is designed to create ceramics with intense ash effects.
