My name is Laura de Grinyo, I am the artisan behind LADIO Ceramics.
I am from Ibiza, which is where my studio is located surrounded by pine trees and Mediterranean plants typical of the island.
My work stems from the origins of Ibiza's pottery tradition while nature is my main source of inspiration with its fractals and golden ratio.
I am also incredibly fascinated by metaphysical studies, astronomy, alchemy and frequencies. It’s a search process of the universal order where light and darkness connect and where everything find its place, time, vibration and reason for being.
I learned from the master Adrián Ribas in his Sa Teulera studio (Ibiza) founded in 1945 by Juan Planells - ”Daifa” - one of the most popular representatives of the island's pottery culture.
During the time I spent with him, I was able to inherit the different steps of this incredible millenary art. I discover the 4 elements - earth, water, air and fire - by creating pieces that allowed me to deepen the knowledge of the elements and my capabilities.
"In ceramics you are constantly working on patience, acceptance of failure, metamorphosis and trusting the process. Something that seems as simple as clay, can go beyond physical, transcending its earthly value to remind us of where we come from".
