In 75 a group of Japanese and Brazilian artists and myself open a Ceramic studio in the mountain side of S.Paulo state in Brazil.

In an old slaughter house we build a wood fired step kiln and dig our own clay and glaze materials.

In 77 Maria Estrela joins us. In 78 we are the only remaining in the studio and we will work there until 84.

We hire local youths as apprentices aiming for their own independent practice.
