Hi, I'm Martina.

I grew up in a village on the outskirts of Barcelona, surrounded by clayey hills. My parents were ceramists, and those early encounters with clay from a very young age were a gift to my artistic experimentation.

I lived in Peru for almost two years, which brought me closer to ancestral cultures, their art, and worldview.

After this journey, I experienced a creative hiatus, a lack of inspiration that lasted several years and made me feel incomplete. Until a year after my daughter Alma was born, I felt a very strong desire to recreate a pre-Columbian figure, and with her, all the magic began… Kumara Lab was born.

Welcome to Kumara Lab.

In ancestral languages, Kumara means the fusion of the four elements of nature.

Kumara Lab is a creative laboratory in Barcelona that works with these four elements. The mixture of Earth with Water gives rise to clay, which travels through Fire and Air from one state, raw, ductile, and malleable, to another, fired, firm, and definitive.

Kumara Lab, Ceramic Workshops in Barcelona

Considering that my parents were ceramicists, my love for ceramic was inevitable. I grew up surrounded by clay, which allowed me to learn a lot since first age. Thanks to that, I can now run ceramic workshops in Barcelona. In my ceramics studio, there’s room for everyone, regardless of their skill level.

I even offer private group ceramic workshops. Friends celebrating a birthday, families getting together to enjoy a good time… If you like getting your hands dirty and have been looking for a ceramic workshop in Barcelona, I’m here to welcome you with open arms.

Online Store of Ceramic Pieces

Sometimes, we overthink what gifts to give. Handmade ceramics are a great gift idea. In our online store of ceramic pieces, you will find exclusive handmade ceramics fired at over 1,100 degrees Celsius.

Three of our most popular products are ceramic mugs, essential oil burners, and decorative vases. And these aren’t the only pieces available in my gallery: wall masks, incense burners, figurines… Surprise your loved ones or treat yourself to artistic ceramics.

Online Courses of Ritual Ceramics

A good gift can also be a ceramics course, don’t you think? Whether it’s for you, a friend, or a family member, there’s nothing like experiencing clay and learning about ceramics. At Kumara Lab, you have access to a series of online ceramic courses to enjoy to the fullest. Distance is no longer an obstacle.

My online ceramic courses last 60 minutes and teach you the main techniques to shape a piece. Moreover, you won’t need much space to carry them out, as they don’t require a wheel. Learn to sculpt the Kumara Lab way!

The Meaning of Kumara Lab

Kumara Lab is much more than meets the eye. In ancient languages, Kumara means the fusion of the four elements of nature: water, earth, fire, and air. Kumara Lab is a creative lab in Barcelona that works with these four elements.

I love sharing my knowledge and passion for ceramics with others, whether through ceramic workshops, ritual ceramic courses, or handmade ceramic pieces. In our family, there’s always room for one more. Will you join us?

Our Story

I am Martina Moxo, and I grew up in a village outside of Barcelona. This village, full of clay hills, connected me with my passion, clay. My artistic experimentation was very enriching, partly because I was inspired by my parents, who were also ceramicists.

I lived in Peru for almost two years and learned from ancestral cultures. The art and worldview of these cultures fascinated me. Although I lost inspiration for a while, the birth of my daughter reignited my desire to work with clay again. That’s how Kumara Lab came to be. I hope you feel at home here.
