hand made ceramics with traditional techniques

Ceramics by Raquel

Making ceramics since 2001, Raquel Rodíguez has developed two product lines with the aim of turning conventional objects into pieces of art that become a routine of your daily life.

A line of traditional architectural elements such as wall mural tiles and lattices, and a line of everyday objects like lamps and bottles with an sculptural approach and porcelain potter wheel bowls, inspired by the traditional islamic architecture of southern Spain and with a strong Japanese influence.

This ceramic, made of stoneware and porcelain with self formulated glazes, will be the perfect match for your wall. The architectural elements can be part of your sgraffito mural, providing contrast texture, volume and movement. The pieces of household goods, are the perfect ornament to contrast and complement the texture and luminosity of your wall.
