Miguel Neto
Professional ceramicist, with formal education from CENCAL, lives and works in Caldas da Rainha, recently opened his new studio together with the Paula Violante. Excellent ceramic art since 1994, his pottery is distinguished by its elegance and simplicity of forms and colours. His curriculum includes also bigger work like murals for public space. Recently, he made the porcelain sealing at the cave of Livraria Lello in Porto. Over the years, Miguel held many exhibitions in Portugal and abroad, and we are glad to have him teach again in Cerdeira in 2019.
