as a child i was happiest when creating with my hands, and during a challenging moment in my life back in 2020, i felt the need to return to something that felt real and grounding. when i started taking ceramics classes in amsterdam, that feeling came back instantly. moving to barcelona gave everything more space to grow. i spent countless hours in the studio, experimenting, shaping, trying things, and letting my home slowly fill with pieces. at some point it just felt right to start sharing them, and juma cerámicas was born. the way i work is very intuitive. i rarely begin with a fixed idea. inspiration comes from everyday things — walking through the city, a color, a texture, traveling, light. the shape often reveals itself only when my hands meet the clay. working with raw materials brings a quiet kind of calm. in a world that moves so fast, creating something slowly, with intention, feels like a small act of grounding. i truly believe craftsmanship still matters. something made by hand carries a softness, a presence, a uniqueness that can’t be duplicated. it holds time, care, and a little piece of me that i'd like to share with the world.
