Background: Gifted ceramicist and textile designer Flavia Del Pra studied ceramics in London and later returned to her native Brazil to pursue a career in textile design. With a number of degrees under her belt, including Textiles for Interiors at Saint Martins in London and Italian Mosaics at Diana de Colloredo�s Studio in Paris, Flavia went on to pursue her career in Sao Paulo. Alongside her commissions for retail interiors and accessories, Flavia created and co-ordinated an educational programme entitled �100 Walls�, a mosaic mural which was acknowledged by UNESCO as a global reference of art-education for children and teenagers. Now back in the UK, where she lives and works, Flavia continues to produce handmade one-off pieces bursting with exquisite beauty.

Talent: Flavia finds inspiration in rich colours and textures, resulting in unique pieces that are delicate as well as functional. Her Brazilian roots are a strong influence on her work, although everything from Oriental art to vintage prints has shaped her style. Her colourful ceramics with a Latin flair recently created such a buzz at the Daily Telegraph House and Garden fair that they sold out almost immediately. In addition, Flavia�s work has been showcased at the Maison et Objet Fair in Paris and featured in an exhibition about the identity and diversity of Brazilian Design in San Francisco.
