One of my works was selected for the 14th International Exhibition of Small Form Porcelain “Asymmetric Movements” In Riga Porcelain museum. “Asymmetric Movements” exhibition has been extended till 7 February 2021 due to Covid and exposition has moved to 1st floor window vitrines of museum so people can see the works from outside the museum….very tricky times for artists, it took nearly 2 months for my piece to get there but very happy it arrives and people can see it!

Lil Chimeneas
My latest collection of little chimeneas can be used as candle holders and oil burners. I am a cat lover and this was one source of inspiration together with tribal cultures that are always somehow part of my work and expression. They are all thrown in the potter’s wheel and I add different features using other techniques to make each of them unique.

Terrasigillata Course with Avelino
Last year I took a group of my ceramic students to experience the magic of Terrasigillatas with Avelino Carrasco and Angie in Madrigal de la Vera, Spain. A beautiful experience, we all have a great time! Unfortunately due to Covid-19 my classes have stopped and other students couldn’t enjoy this experience! Hopefully we will come back next year!

National Thrust Avebury Manor Garden. Outdoor sculpture exhibition 2019
‘Cosmic Circles’ is Maria’s homage to prehistoric Avebury and our Neolithic ancestors. Avebury, like many groups of standing stones in Europe, is based on circles. Inspiration also came from Chinese Neolithic Bi-disks: these often have cosmological imagery, while theories about the cosmological and ritual significance of Avebury’s stone circles abound.
The discs are mainly black clay and porcelain. The patterns, textures and colours are achieved using the nerikomi technique, this leaves the final ‘organic’ appearance to the complex transformations that occur during firing at high temperature.
Her final installation will present 50 disks and it will be on display at The National Trust in Avebury Manor gardens from September until October 2019.
