Keramos

Keramos is a glass manufacturing studio in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, founded by the glass artist Regina Medeiros. At Keramos, exceptional glass objects are made using an original manufacturing technique. First, Medeiros designs a masterpiece in ceramic, a simple shape that will later on serve as a mould for the glass to melt into. Secondly, a glass plate is cut by hand into the right shape and adorned with mica minerals and gold components. After this step, the painted glass is melted in an oven, which allows it to adopt the shape of the masterpiece. All of Regina Medeiros’ designs are manufactured by hand, and therefore each piece is unique. Slight colour changes can occur, constituting the unique charm of handmade products. Regina Medeiros products are strictly for indoor use.
