Alessia Capra was born and raised in Oristano, Sardinia. After earning a diploma in literature, she moved to London at 18 and later graduated with first-class honours in Ceramic Design from Central Saint Martins in 2025. Her practice combines hand-building, wheel-throwing, and sculptural techniques, shaped by a deep curiosity for materials. She explores the relationship between terracotta and porcelain, alongside an ongoing interest in glaze chemistry. A year-long internship at Kevala in Bali further informed her approach. Drawing on her Sardinian roots and global experiences, Alessia reinterprets ancient traditions through a contemporary lens, engaging with themes of heritage, memory, and identity.
