Surrounding us with beauty
- • María Cecilia likes unconventional ceramic forms
- • Freedom is what she likes most about her profession
- • Research and observation are fundamental to her
María Cecilia Pagliari was trained at the School of Arts and Crafts of UTU with mentors Mariana Soler and Beatriz Cabezas. Her interest in craftsmanship arose in adolescence. "I did not want to have a regular job, I wanted my life to be entwined with art," says María Cecilia. At 17, she applied to the Mercado de Los Artesanos, an Uruguayan association that brings together local artisans, and was accepted. "In those days I did not work with ceramics, but I made some cloth dolls that were good enough to get me in," she says. María Cecilia discovered ceramics there. "I feel I have total freedom to do whatever I want. Working with clay is like entering a magical world where you can give shape to the ideas you have in your head." She combines her creative production with teaching.
