The dining experience in a restaurant extends beyond the food itself, and establishments striving for excellence invest in details such as personalized tableware. In this context, a craftswoman has earned well-deserved recognition for her creations, which serve as the perfect complement to the gastronomic proposal, merging culinary art with ceramics.
The creation process for these pieces is the result of close collaboration between the chef and the artisan. In her Cerámicas Jícara workshop, located in La Laguna, unique designs are conceived, which can take up to six months to materialize after an initial month of conceptualization. This dedication ensures that each tableware set is an extension of the restaurant's vision.
“"The client comes, we get to know each other, and we start to look at the menu they want to work on. This preliminary work, conceptualizing the idea, can last about a month. The tableware, with the final result, can take up to six months of work."
The craftswoman's entry into the gastronomic sector began in 2017, following a significant commission for a restaurant. Since then, she has evolved her technique, researching materials and trends to ensure the durability and functionality of her pieces, which are appreciated by both chefs and diners.
The artisan expresses her satisfaction with the recognition of her work, highlighting how gastronomy has provided a platform for her creations to be valued. Her tableware is not only displayed in restaurants across the Canary Islands but has also reached establishments in the United States, Ibiza, and Barcelona, although she prioritizes the local market due to export costs.
For the creator, balance is fundamental: the tableware must enhance the food without overshadowing it. Therefore, she dedicates hours to analyzing each client's menu and gastronomic proposal, avoiding colors or finishes that might distract. This approach has solidified her reputation and made her a key figure in high-quality gastronomic experiences.
