Hi, I’m Maria Alejandra — founder of Pots & Patterns, maker at heart, and believer in the beauty of everyday rituals.
For years, I built a career in the corporate world. But deep down, I craved something more tactile, more soulful — something that brought me back to myself. That journey led me to clay.
The first time I sat at a pottery wheel, hands covered in earth, time slowed down. It felt honest, grounding, and real. That moment changed me. I wasn’t chasing perfection — I was connecting with something ancient, intuitive, and beautiful.
Pots & Patterns began as a personal exploration. But it quickly turned into a calling: to create pieces that help others feel that same sense of calm, joy, and meaning in their homes.
My perspective is shaped by my Venezuelan heritage, years living in five different countries, and a lifelong love of natural materials and soulful spaces. I’m deeply inspired by the patterns of nature and the emotional power of design to shift how we feel in our everyday environments.
Pots & Patterns is here to bring that feeling to life — through timeless homeware pieces that are thoughtfully designed to elevate your daily rituals. From dinnerware to decor, each collection is crafted to help you reconnect with yourself, your space, and the people around you.
Thanks for being here — I hope your find somethings that brings a little more joy to your everyday life.
With love,
Maria Alejandra
