Patience and perseverance
- • Margarida creates refined porcelain pieces
- • She studied design and transitioned to making
- • She doesn't consider ceramics a "yoga craft"
When Margarida Fernandes graduated in Product Design from Lisbon’s Fine Arts Faculty, she knew that she also wanted to learn ceramics and master the whole process from designing to making. Finding an apprenticeship opportunity in Portugal proved difficult so she looked abroad and joined a renowned ceramicist in Denmark. “This experience and another internship in the Netherlands shaped my future”, she explains. Back in Portugal, a job in tile restoration enabled Margarida to buy her first kiln, tools and open her own studio. Her creations revolve around daily life in the kitchen; seeking beauty in simple, thin and delicate objects. Her pieces have been exhibited as far away as Tokyo, a sign of recognition and proof that perseverance can overcome all obstacles.
