Marta Rovira

Twenty-one years in a one-room workshop off Carrer dels Banys Vells, working the way she was taught at Massana. Granulation and lost-wax are the deep end; the everyday is engagement rings, resets and putting old pieces back together.

Everything I make is one person’s. That is the whole job.

One room, one bench, off Carrer dels Banys Vells. I trained at Massana and I have worked the same way for twenty-one years, which is slowly and mostly alone.

Granulation and lost-wax are what people come to me for, but the honest picture of a month is engagement rings, resets, and putting apart pieces that somebody inherited and never wore.

I answer my own email. If you send me a photograph on a Tuesday you will hear back from me, not from an assistant.
