The owner:
As a hobby Nerissa Luger is engaged in ceramics for a number of years. She started Ceramico Arts & Crafts and applied for a business license in 1999 after it became apparent that there was a (local) demand for her products.
The objective:
Ceramico Arts & Crafts makes ceramics on a personal bases. For this moment we maintain a small workshop to entertain local customers. We decided to grow slow and get volume expertise along the way. We hope to interest local people in this art and demand a creative input from our workforce.
From spade to made:
Panay island is the prime source in the Philippines for kaolin and ball-clay deposits. Because we sit in a front seat we can negotiate borrow areas and monitor minimum overburden requirements to ensure consistent material. In this way clays are delivered to our shop in raw form, to be meshed and purified. Together with different components from other locations we create our own unique formula which results in whitebaking earthenware and stoneware clays. This is a lengthy process with the advantage that we can adjust composition and clayformulas to our own need. Ceramico Arts & Crafts controls and is has expertise in the whole process "from spade to made".
Our line of products:
Ceramico Arts & Crafts makes ceramics either from slab or potter's wheel. We are not engaged in so-called slip casting but keep our identity by making handmade products. All our products are whitebaking earthenware- or stoneware-clays. We also sell processed clays to other ceramics shops and provide hands-on tutorials.
Our customers:
We sell mainly in the Philippines
but more and more our products find their way over the border as exports. We
can make volume, but not on short term. It is important we do not taint our
reputation by making promises we can not keep. Since we constantly expand and
specs differ for each article it is best to contact
us for details.
