About the Maker

Tere Pensel - Teresa Pensel

Since I was very young I have been working with my hands. My grandmother taught me to knit and sew. I spent my afternoons in the living room of her house among wool and scraps of fabric. Art has always been very close to my family. Cinema, theater, exhibitions of plastic artists were part of my childhood.
I was born in the city of Buenos Aires, cradle of extraordinary talents and showcase of an innumerable diversity of artists from all over the world. The journey through different artistic expressions flowed naturally very close to me. I have also been nourished by the rich artistic legacy of the native peoples who inhabited my territory in its beginnings and who have had a strong influence on my work.
I have traveled around my country, approaching different artistic spaces where diverse artistic expressions of all times converge. Ceramics were always present in me although many years passed until I finally approached it in a definitive way. I graduated as an Apparel Designer, I worked for twenty years as an independent entrepreneur designing clothing collections, at the same time I attended ceramics workshops where I had a good time, I relaxed, it was a game. Almost unintentionally, I began to put together a first collection of pieces. Encouraged by my sisters, who have always been a pillar in my life, I offered my collection to interior design studios in Buenos Aires, and to my surprise, I sold the entire collection. After that, more and more orders came in and my portfolio of clients grew to such an extent that I left my previous activity and dedicated myself full time to my new ceramic venture.
From 2018 until today, wonderful opportunities followed one after the other, giving me the possibility to continue growing and consolidating myself as an artist. I am a student of the Ceramics Technicature of IMCA, Municipal Institute of Ceramics of the city of Avellaneda, I have begun to present myself to calls for art exhibitiosn for visual artists and I have already won my first prize, I am an instructor of face-to-face and online ceramic workshops of a wonderful group of women.
I express myself as an artist in multiple activities, hand embroidery, I continue to design textile pieces, I create paintings, and I dedicate myself to photography and video.
