More than 20 years ago Matthew Weir arrived to the village of Níjar, in Almería, from London. This artisan could have never imagined that he would find his professional future in the tradition of this place.
Soon he got interested by the secrets of ceramics and learnt how to use the potter’s wheel in the workshop of the Góngora brothers.
In 2000 he filmed a documentary about pottery in Níjar, which shows every step of the manufacturing process, so this legacy didn’t disappear. He applies his xylography and drawing skills to his works, something that makes them unique.
