About our studio and how we work
Our Studio
Our work in the Studio is based on experimentation, imagination and a constant exchange of ideas, which is the root of our collaborative design and artistic process.
There is a synergy between the baggage that each one of us brings, the context that surrounds us and inspires us and also, the infinite possibilities offered by the material, the clay. This mixture is the basis of our creative process.
How do we do it?
We use different types of stoneware pastes clays, we test glazes, we combine them to see how they react and we also create our own glazes. We prefer to use different production methods. Some pieces are hand-thrown on the pottery wheel, while others are done by casting into moulds, created by ourselves. We also experiment with modeling clay to create artistic pieces or to intervene pieces made by other techniques.
Our work is completely handmade. Every piece is created from the scratch, taking care of every detail. We dedicate the necessary time to each step of the process. This process begins with a piece that requires delicacy, because it is still too fresh and soft to work with. After we let it dry out a bit, we work on the surface and the edges, to improve certain finishes. We control the drying, so that it is not too fast, to avoid deformations. Once the clay feels dry, the piece can be fire in the kiln. After that, we glaze the piece, we work on the details of the glaze and then, it is ready for the second firing, so that the pottery is vitrified. In the end, as a result, each Kema cerámica piece is unique.
In our Studio we always tray to have some playful moment. A place for imagination and free experimentation with shapes, textures, the development of glazes and the combination between them. It is a moment of research and study of ceramics that is extremely enriching and, at the same time, very fun.
We work with the joy of those who love this craft and, in the end, it is very gratifying to see how this is reflected in our pieces, in their lines and finishes, in their multiplicity of colors.
Thanks to this design process that involves both experimentation and methodical and patient work, We feel that we have been able to create a harmony between functionality, a timeless aesthetics and a feeling of warmth when using the ceramics. Our handmade pieces, provide a kind and close experience with nature.
What motivates us?
Ceramic materials come from natural resources. We combine them and expose them to high heat to obtain ceramic objects for daily use.
If nature and its nobility provide us with all the elements to be able to create, we believe that we must have an ethical relationship with the environment.
For us it is essential that our production process is sustainable, that preserves nature and, at the same time, encourages a mindful way of consumerism.
We believe that collective action can bring transformational change and therefore, the energy that each one of us bring is essential. This idea is what motivates us in our daily work.
COMMUNITY - ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS – SUSTAINABILITY – HANDMADE
are values that go together.
What is Stoneware?
Stoneware is a type of ceramic that has been fired at a high temperature range, between 1200ºC and 1300ºC, which gives great hardness to the material. This is why stoneware pieces are known by being very resistant and durable.
