About Feito a Mano
Feito a Mano means “made by hand” — and Mano also means “friend.” Every piece is thrown and glazed by Caio Mota-Clem in a small home studio, with a focus on strong, functional shapes that still feel playful and distinctive.
Customs are where the magic happens: gifts, housewarmings, zodiacs, dinner parties, and everyday rituals. You bring the idea; the clay does the rest.
