Catarina Gonçalves’ path went through several areas before discoveringher passion in the ceramic arts.
Born in Lagos, clay came into his life in 2021, after a period spent in England. Having just returned to Portugal, she attended a pottery course with master Ricardo Lopes, at Loulé Criativo and was surrendered to the Potter’s Wheel.
Determined to deepen her knowledge, she did an internship at the atelier of ceramist Janet Mealha, in Lagos, and is currently a resident at Oficina do Barro do Loulé Criativo.
The Potter’s Wheel became his technique of choice, allowing him to create stoneware pieces ranging from functional to decorative.
It is inspired by the beauty of shapes and textures, simplicity and the everyday. Each piece is designed to be cherished and timeless, reflecting her sensitive eye and dedication to craftsmanship.
