Antonia Maria is a ceramist currently based in Berlin. She creates small series inspired by the natural elements around her. Sensitive to the energy of rocks, she seeks to find a balance between different consistencies where shadow and light, emptiness and fullness create new textures and surfaces. This quest for materials reveals infinite combinations and rich analyses.
The clay from Le Fuilet was the first clay she studied during her training in Normandy, and being from Pays-de-Loire, working with a local clay was an obvious choice for her.
In parallel with her studio, she teaches ceramics through throwing, hand-building, and glazing classes.

NOTE: Like all handcrafted products, these pieces may have slight variations in shape, color, and thickness. Even at high temperatures, some of these clays remain microporous. These ceramics are raw and living. Over a few days, water may pass through the pores of the piece. To avoid staining your furniture, remove water from the ceramics after use.
