bio
Santiago Planella. Graduated in Fine Arts from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze (1985), specializing in sculpture. In 1995 he started in ceramics with the Seminar of Ceramic Studies of Sargadelos. Between 1998 and 2015 he co-directs the design studio and ceramic projects Intervento in Sant Mori (Alt Empordà), specializing in architectural and landscape interventions, utilitarian and large format pieces, signature ceramics and ceramic design. In 2016 he obtained a Master's Degree in Artistic Production and Research at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the UB. Since 2013 she has been teaching in the Postgraduate in Contemporary Applied Arts and the University Degree in Arts and Design at the Massana School (Barcelona).
Maria Roy (Barcelona, 1993) is an artist and designer who works with both traditional and experimental craft techniques to explore and assimilate the world around her. Her main subject of study is the earth, as living matter that narrates about history, politics and ecology from the local. Using the resources that the earth provides, she forms ceramic sculptures that are closely linked to the geographical context where she develops her practice. With a strong interest in ceramics as an archaeological material, she aims to recover narratives that connect us with the environment through objects. During the last few years, Maria has been teaching in the Degree of Arts and Design at the Massana School and teaches ceramic workshops with the aim of linking the community with the environment and its resources. She also shares her knowledge of ceramics at La Escocesa.
