Paburo Pots is a small pottery studio rooted in the Capati Farm, where ceramics, food, and slow days come together.
The Beginning
How Paburo Pots came to be
Paburo Pots began at Capati Farm, shaped first by family life — a place for raising animals, growing plants, and spending long days together away from the city.
Pottery came later. In 2003, a small studio was set up and work began quietly. For years, the pieces stayed private, shaped through repetition, patience, and daily practice.
What changed wasn’t the work, but the people. Friends and family lingered — watching, eating together, trying clay. Again and again, they said the same thing: the place, the pace, and the way the day unfolded felt different.
That’s when Paburo Pots became something worth sharing.
The Farm
Where the work lives today
Capati Farm is a place people slow into. The quiet, the open space, and the absence of urgency shape how time is spent here. Days feel less scheduled. Meals last longer. Conversations don’t need an end point.
The studio sits naturally within this environment. Work happens alongside daily life, not separate from it. When people step into the space, they aren’t entering a setup or a scene—they’re entering a place that’s already in motion, shaped by routine and familiarity.
Located roughly one hour outside Manila.
Pablo Capati III
Has worked with clay for over two decades. His practice is built on fundamentals—understanding material, respecting process, and showing up to the work consistently. He leads all pottery and production at Paburo Pots, guiding both the making and the teaching with the same discipline he applies to his own work.
Pablo Capati IV
Co-leads Paburo Pots, shaping how the practice is experienced beyond the wheel and the table. He oversees systems, flow, and the overall structure of the studio—from how workshops are paced to how people move through the day. His role is to make sure the environment supports the work, without getting in its way.
