About me and my work

Hi, my name is Rebeca Castellanos and I'm a ceramic artist based in Hermosillo, Sonora. 

All of my pieces are made by hand either by using the coiling technique, the pottery wheel, slabs and or a combination. I like to create freely that way I know my creative subconscious mind will come out to play turning my hands into an instrument.

My work is based on nature, mostly the ocean, where I often go to appreciate the vastness and calmness of life. My pieces are all made one by one by hand. Therefore each piece is a one of a kind. 

My vases, which I love making them, feel as though I’m having a long conversation with each one, wherein my hands are subconsciously bringing out their own rhythm and are guiding me in what the shape of the vase will be. I just love it!!

And lastly, my utilitarian pieces are inspired by my unique vases. It's a way to put in what I love doing in a smaller and re-creatable piece.
