Diego Añez first connected with ceramics when he was just a child. As a young adult, he travelled the country to know the craft in more depth and learn from the best masters. He spent more than 15 years marvelling at the creations in each region and understanding that the use of ceramics has deep roots. Today, Diego runs the Magma Cerámica workshop with his wife, María Paula, where they create innovative and unique ceramic objects. Diego, now in his sixties, has been awarded the Medalla a la Maestría Artesanal (Craftsmanship Mastery Medal). His greatest treasure is knowing that he continues to spread the knowledge that so many others handed over to him. This is how he honours them, he says.
