Hi, my name is Alessia and this is my story with pottery. It all began by chance, in a moment of my life when I felt lost. At that time I was looking for something that could teach me how to change my pragmatic approach when confronted with my own thoughts or the obstacles life put me through. It was really delirious at the time: every day there were tens of things to do and think about, and, consequently, I reached a break point. That was the time I decided to slow down.

I wanted to do something just for me, to create from scratch - hoping one day I could reach the point when I could say "This is mine. I was able to do it after all". For this reason, I created Materica.
