The travelling ceramicist
- • José used to work in the media business
- • He specialises in volcanic ash glazing
- • He learned his craft from masters across the world
José Carvalho is a self-taught craftsman born in Portugal and currently living in England where he runs his own workshop in a railway arch in West London’s Ravenscourt Park since 2016. What started as a hobby at the end of 2007 soon grew into a passion that pushed him to become a full-time ceramicist. Travelling the world with his previous career in the media business, he learned his craft spending time with potters across the globe, visiting museums, reading books and experimenting firsthand pottery making. Made using wheel throwing and volcanic glazing, Carvalho’s geometrical ceramics are renowned for mimicking seascapes and landscapes. Always striving for perfection, he does not hesitate to fire his vessels up to four or five times to obtain the desired textures.
