laura clay studio
Founder of this pottery studio in Sitges. A place where clay, fire and emotion meet — and where I invite you to create.
This studio was born, literally, in a garage. A space we transformed with patience and love until it became a place of art and well-being — designed for living unique moments, learning pottery and enjoying the magic of creating with your hands.
My training combines local workshops here in Catalonia with international courses, where I learned artistic pottery and wheel-throwing techniques. But beyond technique, I'm always exploring new forms of creative expression, seeking the balance between fire, clay and emotion.
What began as a personal corner is today a long table where hands of all ages sit together. I like to think that everyone who passes through here takes away, along with a piece, a slower way of looking at things.

Creating is also sharing. Every piece begins with a slow, unhurried gesture, attentive to what the clay wants to become. The process matters as much as the result.
Fire is the moment when the piece stops being ours. We accept what the firing gives — the crack, the unexpected colour, the surface that changed.
Nature and Mediterranean food are endless sources: textures, colours, aromas and sensations reflected in every piece and every detail of the studio.
A place of well-being before a classroom. Pottery, art and well-being come together here to shine as one — that's what I want you to take home.

Santa Laura's passion is born from the Sagrados Corazones — symbols present in many cultures as a representation of fire, light, love and transformation.
For me they are energy and spiritual connection. Through them I create unique pieces that convey strength, texture and colour. It's not decoration: it's the idea that every object can hold something of that inner glow and share it with whoever holds it.
Hence the name, and hence everything else. Santa Laura is that heart made clay: a promise to shine with spirit.
