Meet The ARtisan
Drawing inspiration from both nature and their heritage, Lei and Augusto started making their own ceramics at the age of 16. In honoring their cultural traditions, they created an approach that integrated both primitive ceramic techniques with newer advanced methods. This intention is clear in their dedication and passion through which they continue to carry out their work. 33 years ago they opened Ateliê Augusto Leí, their joint ceramics studio which includes a traditional Japanese Noborigama kiln and an annex for exhibitions. By showcasing their work they keep the rituals of their heritage alive. Additionally, the physical construction of their studio offers an homage to the cultural ritual of hand pressed pottery bricks, which is an important part of the history of ceramics in the city of Cunha.
