Biography

María Rengel, a ceramic artisan from Málaga with over 38 years of experience, develops work focused on handmade creation and attention to detail. Originally from Álora, her pieces reflect a strong Andalusian influence.

She began her training in Zarautz (Guipúzcoa) and later continued at the School of Arts and Crafts in Granada, where she collaborated with restorers from the Alhambra. Since then, she has worked continuously in ceramics, combining artistic production and teaching.
