‘All you need is an open mind, a creative spirit, and a willingness to get a little messy’
‘All you need is an open mind, a creative spirit, and a willingness to get a little messy’For many, pottery is a craft introduced in the most romantic—or steamy—way. Who could forget Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze’s iconic scene in the 1990 movie Ghost? And surely, many of us have seen those dreamy guys on TikTok creating their own pieces with clay. But the thing is, pottery is one of the oldest human inventions, and over time, its purpose has gone beyond function.
And help everyone she did. In 2021, Marita established Bumi and Ashe, crafting ceramics in her two-bedroom condo. Soon, she was able to share her love for pottery through beginner-friendly classes hosted in her studio at Cubao Expo and partnerships with other brands. “Pottery is the most humbling experience. They say it's therapeutic, and I couldn’t agree more. It teaches you so much about yourself—how you respond to stress and frustration. It teaches you to let go,” she explains. “It’s also very technical, and as a very scientific person, it gives me so much pleasure to learn something new every single day.”Attending one of Bumi and Ashe’s pottery workshops is an experience that lasts for weeks.
“Our mission has always been to offer fun, creative, and one-of-a-kind experiences,” Marita says. “This inspired us to expand into Rug Tufting and Silver Clay Jewelry workshops, bringing participants a fresh and unique way to explore their creativity.”“Art is for everyone! You don’t need any prior experience to join our workshops. All you need is an open mind, a creative spirit, and a willingness to get a little messy,” she adds.
