Marilza makes decorative and functional ceramics in stoneware and porcelain: plates, bowls, table lanterns and ceramic jewellery. She is also an artist in watercolour/ acrylics and textile hangings. The main inspiration for her work, both in ceramics and painting is colour, as perceived from her travels abroad.
