About Me
Introduction | My name is Rosita Pino, I come from Chile, I am a potter, I have been involved in pottery for more than 40 years. |
What I Love about Ceramics | I love the idea that you can create things with your hands, things that can be enjoyed as utilitary or sculpture, I love colors, forms, everything. For me it is a passion to work with clay and glazes…. |
How I started with ceramics | I started long ago, playing with clay since I was a girl, and later as a teenager I went with a friend on mine to a pottery school, she was to take clases, and she finally abandond the idea and then I realize it was what I wanted to do, so I started my way to clay and pottery |
What inspires me | The idea to create more than anything I am alwasy thinking to create and start new projects and teach what I know to share with other people mainly, I love to teach |
What I'm working on at the moment | I am working on different sizes of utilitary bowls, mugs and plates as well as some sculptures, horses mainly, and birds figures. Also nowadays I am attending classes on glaze basics, recipes and more, just to be share all this knowledge with my students |
My Artist Statement | Basically I am involved in getting as much knowledge on ceramics as I can, to teach ceramics to people interested in, for them to have a special space in their lives to create and enjoy their works |
My CV | I am a self-taught so as to say, but I have been taking pottery classes at the university, not as a career, special classes offer at the Art school of the university, in pottery schools, reading books, videos, and different classes in my city |
