Handmade in the United Kingdom. Borja Moronta is originally from Asturias, northern Spain. He settled in Edinburgh after graduating as an Architect in 2016 (Madrid Polytechnic University). Throughout university, he had a strong interest in different disciplines such as photography, ceramics and woodwork, always feeling drawn to architecture which focuses on the materiality of the buildings. Today, based in his Edinburgh studio, in Abbeymount, Borja makes ceramics that follow basic, calmed and natural forms with a soft tonal palette. Each piece is individually crafted on the potter’s wheel and throughout all the stages, therefore showing all the nature and beauty of a handmade piece. Simple organic forms that create a calm subtle quality to the modern context of sharing food with family and friends. Slight variations in the glaze, size and finish maybe seen.
