Discover the Maker

Hey there, I'm Valeria, the creative force behind Ceramic Essence. With a passion for ceramics that spans over a decade, I've honed my skills and techniques to bring you unique, vibrant, and whimsical ceramic pieces. Originating in the lively city of Cape Town, South Africa, my ceramic journey really took off during my time in Argentina, where I sought a personal connection through pottery classes. This led me to further my interest and studies igniting a deep-seated love for clay. After returning to Cape Town, Ceramic Essence blossomed from a personal passion, making pieces for my own enjoyment, to a communal haven, where friends could lose themselves in the therapeutic art of clay. What began as a simple pastime, eventually led me to delve deep into the world of clay!
