OUR AWARDS

The Alfajar trajectory

The 30th Anniversary of Alfajar will be celebrated in 2022. What emerged as a ceramic workshop among friends, is today a consolidated family business inside and outside our borders, strongly established in the art market, which captures the richness of its designs in all kinds of materials and forms.

Currently run by 3 women, Lola Díaz and Diana and Paula Ruiz, her daughters, Alfajar is also: creative, entrepreneurial, feminist, innovative, resistant to adversity and facilitator of new exhibition spaces as well as new methods of craft creation.

Ahead of their time, thanks to their talent and ability to adapt, they have managed to distinguish themselves in the invisibility of their sector, not only resisting but also moving forward.

This ability to take up tradition and unite it with the most contemporary vision of current ceramics has earned Alfajar numerous awards.
