Ceramics for the everyday
- • Nano creates pieces that combine function and decoration
- • He also focuses his work on teaching, research and experimentation
- • He believes that the clays of Galicia are the best to work with
Over the last few years, Nano Unzueta has become one of the great contemporary representatives of Galician craftsmanship. Self-taught, he focuses on making ceramics for everyday use, utilitarian but also with high aesthetics. For him, the clays of the region where he lives are especially good for preparing the pastes he needs for his pieces and firing them at high temperatures. Beyond creating ceramics with his own natural glazes, he also teaches and carries out research. Nano believes artisans should not keep secrets in the workshop, so he is always willing to share his knowledge and his passion for his craft. All of this, with the noble aim of ensuring that handmade ceramics continue to strengthen and occupy a special place in people’s daily lives and hearts.
