Limited edition for 56 Artes gallery
São Pedro do Corval, 2011
This is a collection grew up over conversations, the memory of pottery, the people of São Pedro do Corval and the rabbits that often take over Alentejo’s landscape. At the invitation of 56 Artes, Pedrita studio prepared together with the pottery Polido & Filho the second edition of the “Coelhos Alentejanos” series. As in the first edition, held in 2004 in an action organized by Cencal (Centro de Formação Profissional para a Indústria Cerâmica) for the perservation of Corval’s legacy, the pieces now presented at 56 Artes also reflect old typologies and explore new decorating techniques.
