ORIGIN

{cai.a.da} 

° Iberian migratory bird;

° from the Latin "cañare", painting with lime flower, an ancestral technique widely used in the houses of warm countries, which I cherish so much.

I am Sonia, Portuguese, settled in the Basque Country since 2012. Coming from Portuguese immigrant families, passionate about the South, in love with travels and the encounters we make there. All these life experiences lead to unique and unforgettable moments. It awakens in me a need to live consciously, focused on the importance of simple moments.

A way of life that I share daily and that I transmit with my pieces created in my workshop in the Basque Country, using the ancestral coil technique. I prefer this method to give the clay its full freedom of expression. My work consists of unique and timeless pieces with organic textures and shapes. The raw material is left visible as much as possible and each piece has its own identity.
