About
Ateliê Mosca is built by women. The name, Mosca, comes from the family, in honor of the maternal grandmother, Ophélia Mosca. The creator is Paula Mosca, who discovered in ceramics a way to reconnect with nature and develop a work full of meaning. Along with her, adds Geisa Costa, who, in addition to being a partner, helps in all the development of daily life at the studio. Together, we think and create all the pieces with love and dedication, to bring a little of us and our work to other people.

All ceramics produced at the Mosca atelier are 100% handcrafted, from the initial modeling to the final finishes. At the beginning, the clay is kneaded and prepared to be shaped, it goes around and is transformed into a piece with the bare hands. At the exact finishing point, the piece comes to life and rests to dry for days.
After drying, they all undergo two fires: 980 degrees (biscuits) for complete drying and 1240 degrees (high temperature) with glaze, which guarantee them greater resistance and that they can be used in everyday life with simplicity and beauty. The process takes 40 days and a Mosca Ceramic is born.
