Marilu Tejero
In 1983, while living in Lima, Peru, I was strongly attracted to the pottery made by the different cultures Mochicas, Chimus, Chancay, Inca, Tiawanaku, etc, and felt an urge to work with clay. It was not easy to find workshops, but once I touched clay there was no going back.
Upon my return to Melbourne, Australia, I continued learning as much as possible and the early 1990’s were spent in several Community Colleges, TAFE Colleges and finally graduating with a B.A.Honours in Ceramic Design from Monash University.
My last year at Monash, was spent researching for several months for a glaze that would suit the body of work I was developing , with a strong archeological feeling, weathered like old rock faces. Once I found the right combinations, these glazes have become my trademark.
My inspirations come from the depths of my memories and events that surrounded my childhood in a mining city in Bolivia.
I’m privileged to work in a clay studio everyday,
to share my knowledge with other interested adults and children. This is my life. Clay is my love. This is my gift to the world.
