About our Artist: Doca Leite was born in northern Brazil. His interest in pottery started early. ‘I began going to see people work in a workshop near my house. I saw how they crafted ceramics and was very excited with the process,’ he says. Over time, he trained and was hired there. ‘In 1983, I started my own pottery workshop and began crafting Brazil’s legendary Marajoara ceramics.’ Dating from 350 to 1400 AD, the pre-Hispanic Marajoara culture was identified at the end of 19th century and a wealth of highly developed ceramics were found on Marajo Island near the mouth of the Amazon River. Doca Leite has dedicated his career to preserving the Marajoara ceramic art tradition. His designs are appreciated all over Brazil and abroad. ‘The best thing that happened in my life was pottery it gave me everything! I’ve always worked with ceramics and, from this art, I could earn a livelihood, raise my children and, most important, preserve the legacy of an ancient culture.’ In 2006, he received the title of Brazil’s Number One Artisan in the prestigious Top 100 Artisans competition….
