Vicky Blanco is the potter behind EEYA Ceramics. She enjoys creating functional hand-made pieces that communicate warmth, strength and connection. Her work utilizes red clay, porcelain slip, and carved patterned surfaces that reference nature. Vicky grew up in Bolivia surrounded by mountains, diverse culture, nature and a close family. She developed a love for artistic expression at an early age. She holds a bachelor’s degree in graphic design, and spent many years working on branding, interaction and information design projects. In early 2019 she started classes at The Clay School, immediately fell in love with this medium and has since focused her creative energy on clay.

Vicky believes in the power of living a life surrounded by beauty and nature. She values the sense of human touch and the energy to pass it onto others with each piece. EEYA is the phonetic spelling of “IYA”, a Guarani dialect word that refers to the energy found in things made from the earth. "EEYA" is created with new pottery and passed on to each owner as new "EEYA".
