About the Artists
Estudio Vernís is a workshop that celebrates craft and the unexpectedness of wood-firing. Every piece is made individually, by hand, in our studio in Castell de Castells. Timeless, lasting, and ever-evolving ceramics designed to be functional and honest.
The studio was founded in the mountains of Alicante in 2019 by Alejandra and Coke, a duo who wanted to make use of their hands and natural resources to make something they identified with.
They aspire to a world where every object contains the traces of the hands that made it. That is why their fingerprints are in every step of the process, from the pinching of the clay, to the formulation of the glazes or the foraging of the wood, leaving a mark in a lasting and natural material, using primitive techniques and local resources.
The pieces that result form this are a labor of re-learning from the material and from the process, to allow it to set the pace and decide the result.
