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
