Fernando Alcalde: the beautiful ceramics and the incredible stories behind the colours

What happens when a ceramicist spends forty years perfecting colours that most people never even attempt? Fernando Alcalde works in a workshop in Cuenca, Spain — and his shelves are full of pieces you won't find anywhere else. Vases, bowls, coffee pots reduced to their purest form. Blues, greens, celadon glazes rooted in Chinese tradition going back to the third century BC. And red — the colour that even industry avoids, that few ceramicists dare to attempt, and that comes out different every single firing. In this interview, Fernando walks through his workshop and shows you what forty years of work looks like. ▶ Want to visit Fernando Alcalde's workshop in Cuenca?
