    MANUELA METRA

    Manuela Metra is a contemporary visual artist and Wabi-Sabi ceramic artist, graduated from the San Luca Academy of Fine Arts. For more than twenty-five years, she has developed an artistic practice that explores the visceral power of matter through contemporary sculpture, Zen aesthetics, and transformative processes. Her work is shaped using natural stoneware, wild clay, and pigments prepared by hand.

    She is the founder of Celadon – Wabi Sabi Academy, a space devoted to the study of ceramics, material experimentation, and the exploration of the relationship between earth, water, and form.
