One-of-a-kind ceramic pieces and music — all by Tiago Barroso.
See the CollectionSome people find their thing early. For Tiago, it started with a ceramics class at Cypress Bay — and he never looked back. What began as a school elective became a genuine love for shaping clay into something beautiful and useful.
Music came even earlier. Growing up in a home filled with it, Tiago picked up the guitar as a kid, eventually adding bass and vocals to the mix. He never stopped. These days, you'll find him splitting his time between the pottery wheel and the music — two very different crafts that share the same foundation: patience, practice, and a whole lot of heart.
When he's not creating, Tiago's probably at the regional park playing pickleball or beach tennis. But Clay & Chords is where his two biggest passions come together.
Every piece is handmade, one at a time. From the first pinch of clay to the final glaze, Tiago crafts each item with care and attention to detail. No two pieces are exactly alike — and that's the whole point.
New pieces land here as they come out of the kiln. Follow @clayandchords for studio shots and process videos.
Clay is only half the story. Tiago's been playing music for as long as he can remember — guitar, bass, and vocals. Whether it's a mellow acoustic session or something with a little more energy, music is always part of the process.
Each piece is crafted by hand and truly unique. Tiago produces just a few pieces each month, so every item is made with time and intention.
