Elemento Ceramics – Handmade pottery with earth and fire
Discover the ancestral power of clay and the beauty of creating with your hands. At Elemento Ceramics, each workshop is an experience of connection with the earth, fire, and the slow rhythm of making.
Guided by Pamela Chaves, you’ll explore traditional hand-building techniques — pinching, coiling, and slabs — and the ancient process of wood firing, where each piece becomes truly unique and full of life.
These sessions invite you to return to the origin, create from intuition, and embrace imperfection as part of natural beauty. No previous experience is needed — just curiosity and the joy of getting your hands in the clay.
An experience that blends art, mindfulness, and culture. Handmade pottery with earth and fire.

Elemento is creation, exploration, and the union of the four elements — Earth, Water, Air, and Fire.Through clay, I create objects of ritual and power, each piece carrying the intention of reconnecting with Mother Earth and elevating our energy.
Inspiration & Story
My inspiration comes from the ancestral techniques of indigenous peoples from my native Argentina. Hand-building allows me to slow down, embrace every step, and let the fire give its final word.
The first pieces I created in Australia marked a deep transformation in my own journey. Some are available for sale, others remain close to my heart.
Workshops & Community
Based in Fremantle, I offer ceramic workshops and classes, where you can explore this ancient art form and connect with the power of clay.
Weekly gatherings where we create our own ELEMENTS — the place is here, the time is now.
Ancestral Acknowledgment
With deep respect, I honor the indigenous peoples of Argentina, whose mastery of pre-Columbian ceramics continues to inspire me. Their art embodies both technical brilliance and a profound connection to the land — a heritage that must be preserved.
Every piece is a story, every object an Elemento.
