Jose and Aussy established Solon Perfecto Ceramics & Culture in 2020. It is an expression of living an unhurried life in order to champion Filipino table culture, traditions, beauty, and heritage.
Now in its sixth year, the husband-and-wife artists continue to make pottery, tell stories, and create art and media from their home studio — while raising a family and trying to keep a 35-year-old Pajero running.
The Brand
Solon Perfecto Ceramics & Culture is an art house with clay and words as the means of expression. Taking elements from the eponymous cinematic genre, the brand turns the artist Jose Solon Perfecto’s pottery and artistic process into media and stories that champion the history of ceramic arts in the Philippines and the world at large.
