Buy handmade ceramics María Monasterio

We are a small artisanal ceramics workshop based in Málaga. At María Monasterio Ceramic Studio, we specialize in crafting tableware and decorative pieces. Depending on the design, we use a variety of techniques, including the potter’s wheel, hand modeling, slab building, or molds.

Here, you can shop for ceramics online quickly and effortlessly. Our work blends traditional pottery methods with modern, artistic designs, ensuring that the everyday objects you use are not only functional but also visually stunning.

Our designs are deeply inspired by nature, reflected in shapes, textures, and colors that evoke its beauty.

Additionally, we offer tools for ceramists, designed based on our hands-on experience and addressing gaps we’ve noticed in the market. Our aim is to create high-quality, practical tools that simplify and enhance the work done in the studio.

  • Marine sponge

    Price range: 10,00 € through 13,00 € IVA incluido
    Natural sponge of marine origin for use in ceramics replacing traditional synthetic sponges. It is a soft sponge but with a good consistency. Suitable for removing glaze on bisque pieces as well as for finishing and smoothing raw pieces. Approximate dimensions: Small: 5-6cm 2 pieces Medium: 7-8cm 1 piece Another small step to make your workshop more sustainable. Sponges are used constantly, and as they are used they wear out and release small particles that end up going down the drain and eventually into the sea. To prevent more microplastics from reaching the aquatic environment, switch to these natural, sustainably collected marine sponges.
