Álvaro Villamañán

My name is Álvaro Villamañán, I'm a self-taugh potter and woodfirer.

Throughout my 8 years career I've developed a quite personal style of Kohiki pottery, in wich I manufacture most of my utilitarian/daily use production.

I also have a very basic Shino line, mostly for plates, ricebowls and teabowls.

I fire all this pottery both in the gas kiln or in one of my two anagama kilns.

My woodfired line is inspired by the Shigaraki and Iga ceramics.

I use a very plastic, low iron stoneware to wich I add grain feldspar.

I make both decorative (flower vases, big jars, spheres...) and small series of utilitarian ceramics.
