Project Description

For this exhibition, we carried out the photo shoot of the pieces, the design and layout of the catalogue, as well as the promotional materials and all the accompanying images of the space.

Our aim is to celebrate the essence of clay as a living, malleable material. We convey the idea that Aveiro was born from clay and is capable of transforming and shaping stories. Just as clay allows itself to be worked by the hands of time, the modelling process takes on an almost poetic dimension.

The importance of pottery production in Aveiro on the national stage is undeniable. This exhibition aimed to promote research and raise awareness of this field of excellence by presenting a collection of 135 works from private and institutional collections for the first time. Many of these pieces are signed and dated by Aveiro’s greatest potters. It also served as an invitation to visit the city, where many of these artists’ works can still be seen today.
