Laura Delgado
a ceramist hailing from Cambre, a picturesque town in La Coruña. An industrious and meticulous artisan, she draws inspiration from ancient Galician pottery, the enigmas of the earth, and her innate creative flair when shaping her pieces. Her philosophy? To unearth the past in order to forge the future. In 2022, she was honored with the Galician Crafts Award for her work "O mundo do reverse, coctelería peliqueira," a fusion of traditional Polynesian porcelain with decorative elements inspired by entroido masks, iconic figures from the Ourense carnival.

Kike Ortega
Kike Ortega is a passionate artist residing and creating in Pontevedra. Blurring the lines between his home and studio, Kike's living space doubles as his artistic sanctuary. With a profound appreciation for the ocean's treasures, he transforms found objects into captivating works of art. Whether crafting a cathedral of Santiago from abandoned basins or sculpting wonders from sunken barrel metal sheets, Kike's creations are truly awe-inspiring.
"Contemporary Art is very complex and requires knowledge and deciphering codes, just like Architecture, Literature, or Music," remarks Kike, speaking from the depth of his understanding and passion for his craft. With artistry running deep in his DNA, Kike believes in the power of personal connection when it comes to selling his work.
Mukta Yoga
María has been dedicating her entire life to yoga. She trained as a Hatha teacher and now combines it with Navakarana Vinyasa, a discipline that unites breathing, sound and movement.
She has a small, cozy studio in La Coruña where she allows her students to experience the freedom that comes from knowing and caring for themselves through conscious and restorative practices. It only works with small groups to personally attend to the students and thus create a relaxed and intimate environment that favors connection with oneself. The schedules are flexible and you can sign up online even 3 minutes before it starts. She also does healthy food workshops and retreats where both things are combined. Highly recommended.
