What is Gato Thor Ceramica?
Gatothor Ceramica is a small ceramic studio with a big heart, born in La Plata, Argentina, in 2019 and inspired by our beloved cat, Thor. We pour our creativity and craftsmanship into each handmade piece, blending artistry and practicality through throwing and handbuilding techniques. Our work celebrates organic shapes, earthy textures, and timeless elegance, whether it's delicate tableware, unique decor, or custom pieces made just for you.
Our ceramics have traveled from Argentina to Peru and now to Ireland, carrying with them a playful yet refined spirit—just like Thor himself. We love pushing the boundaries of clay, exploring new textures, techniques, and glazes to keep our craft fresh and exciting. Every piece we create reflects our curiosity, passion, and the endless possibilities that ceramics offer.
Join us on this journey and see where our love for clay takes us!
The makers behind Gatothor Ceramica
Adriana, Peruvian, is the heart and hands behind Gatothor Ceramica. A passionate and self-taught ceramist, she uses a variety of handbuilding techniques to create truly unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. Her work is a reflection of her love for exploration—ranging from sculptural forms to delicate tableware—all while embracing the beauty of imperfection.
Adriana draws inspiration from the places she’s called home—Peru, Brazil, Argentina and now, Ireland, infusing each piece with stories and experiences. With a keen eye for detail, she even formulates her own glazes, adding a distinctive character and depth to her ceramics. Every creation is a blend of curiosity, creativity, and heartfelt craftsmanship.
Alongside, Julio brings his engineering mindset, creativity, and a steady hand on the pottery wheel to the studio. With his Japanese-Argentinian background, he adds a unique aesthetic to our ceramics—clean, graceful curves that reflect a blend of precision and artistry. Then there's Adriana, whose finishing touches bring warmth and character to each piece, making every creation truly collaborative.
And, of course, there's Thor—the heart and soul of our workshop. Playful, elegant, and curious, he inspires the spirit and charm that defines Gatothor Ceramica. Together, we craft pieces that reflect the joy and connection we share.
