The Artist

Jose Solon Perfecto is a pottery artist that blends his own wild clay and formulates ash glazes using elements of his terroir: rice fields, trees, deposits from the mountain. He is using ancient techniques and championing cultural heritage, but his pottery has a vibe that is as much witness as chronicler of modern times.

Known as the Prodigal Son of Contemporary Philippine Ceramics, Jose Solon Perfecto has been making art on the pottery wheel since he was 8 years old. Almost three decades later, Solon Perfecto has had 3 solo exhibitions after leaving the city and a corporate job to become a full-time artist.

His Terroir Ceramics, abstract expressionist sculptures, and traditional pottery are available at Aphro Living in The Alley, Karrivin Plaza, Makati City.

Find his pieces being used at the Filipino restaurants, Hapag ana Aya at the Balmori Suites in Rockwell Center, Makati City; Porch Coffee at the Clark Parade Grounds, Pampanga; El Union Coffee and Makan at ELISEOS in San Juan, La Union; and Hatch Coffee and El Union Coffee in Baguio City.
