It was in Tuscan, Italy, that she had her first experience in
modeling the clay in the ceramic wheel, a traditional ceramic
wheel, the kind you push with your foot".
However, it was
after a four month trip within the country side of her homeland,
with the project "Projeto Saberes do Brasil" ("Knowledge
of Brazil Project"), as she experienced and lived customs
and ways related to the Brazilian table, that the most organic
shapes made room in the production. Her research seeks to sensitize
the user so that man is re-introduced to his own culture. The
rethinking of the earth starting at the potter's hands.

In 2005, the Muriqui Group was formed, a center for research
and development in glazes and ceramics production. The group
is formed by herself and three other ceramic artists: Ana
Glaura, Estela and Jane.
Graduated in Graphic Design by Faap University, she has worked
in this area, always having ceramic art as a hobby until she
moved with her husband and children to the United States of
America and was able to dedicate herself full time to her great
passion: high temperature ceramic art. She studied at Greenwich
House Pottery, New York and at Art School at Old Church, New
Jersey.
Back in Brazil now, she has her art studio in the Sao Paulo
neighborhood of Brooklin, where she develops her projects.

Art ceramic classes on Wednesdays from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Her didactics is based on her teaching of high school students
for thirty years. Estela guides the learning of ceramic art
through the means of experimentation. This has been a strong
characteristic of the way she has walked the world of ceramic
art.
It was at the Cassiano Ricardo Foundation, in Sao Jose dos
Campos, Sao Paulo, Brazil that she learned how to work the
clay modeling and making use of the paddle. Throughout the
years she experienced and coordinated experimental research
of kilns, clays and glazes.

Her path in ceramic art started as she worked with modeling
the clay manually. She was a disciple of great art ceramists
and attended a
variety of courses, from Raku and primitive burns, to specialized
courses on high temperature glazes. Nowadays, she alternates
between modeling the clay with the electrical wheel, so she
can better express herself through her functional or non-functional
pieces.
"The clay makes it possible for a direct contact with
matter, the experience of a constant transformation that activates
all our sensors and brings reality to what was not there initially.
The changes of a piece of clay under our fingers allow changes
and the evolution of our own personal conscience. In each piece,
a piece of our soul is left."
