The studio

A place to stay awhile.

Studio, community and workspace under one roof in San Rafael.

Tools, brushes and aprons organized inside the studio

Pepes by MRG

Craft without a pedestal.

Maribel Ramírez Gándara leads a space where knowledge is shared openly, mistakes are discussed and everyone finds their own way of working.

Come for a class, build a steadier practice or simply get to know what we do. Ceramics take time. Luckily, there is a table here.

What holds us together

Six ideas, none decorative.

01

Clay does not lie

The material responds to what we do. Listening is part of the craft.

02

Everyone can create

We do not believe talent is an entry requirement.

03

Community before clientele

The studio gets better when the table is shared.

04

The whole craft is shared

We do not keep secrets to look like experts.

05

Let go of the result

The piece matters, but it does not control the whole process.

06

Mexican roots

We work from the local context without turning it into decoration.

This is the door

Come meet Pepes.
