I only began working seriously with pottery when I came to Níjar in 1988. For five years I decorated pots made by Baldomero García García, and tiles made by the Góngora brothers, using the traditional technique of wood-fired lead-glazed ware (for more details of his technique see FILM).

Working on my own I have used a modern version of this tecnique at times, but more usually have used a white tin-glaze fired to 1070 C. Recently I have been experimenting with Stoneware and Porcelain.

 

Empecé con la cerámica cuando vine a vivir en Níjar en 1988. Al principio decoraba piezas hechas por Baldomero García García, y azulejos hechos por los Hermanos Góngora, con la técnica tradicional, cocidas a leña y vidriados con plomo (Galena).

En mi propio taller he empleado una versión moderna de la técnica Nijareña a veces, pero más habitualmente utilizo un esmalte blanco a base de estaño cocido a 1070 C.
