Morela Cañas

Morela Cañas is a Venezuelan ceramist whose work and teaching focus on material exploration, storytelling, and the connection between form and meaning. She began exploring mould-making while creating an installation composed of hundreds of reproduced corns. Since then, she has developed expertise in a wide range of mould-making techniques, alongside pursuits in filmmaking and poetry. Morela’s practice is guided by a love of research and a sensitivity to identity, belonging, and transformation, qualities she shares with her students to inspire both technical skill and thoughtful artistic expression.
