Pere Coll, potter of Pòrtol

Trade: ceramica-portol

• Who: master ceramist from Pòrtol. Twenty years in the Sa Penya olleria and thirty in his own workshop (opened in 1996) in C/ Cals Ollers. Marratxí and the Consell honored him for his retirement after fifty years of service.
• What it did: large gerres raised by successive layers of mud and long firings.
• Barceló: a tourist source links his work with Miquel Barceló (Pasodoble series); I have not been able to confirm it from a solid source — ask him.
• Note: retired, that's why `focus: context`. There is no verified “Ceràmica Coll” company; What there is is the Gerreria Pere Coll.

For the project

Retired: not to produce, but as a testimony for the atlas (fifty years of lathe) and possible loan of large gerres for the exhibition. Confirm with him the link with Barceló.
