ugu's house

this is ugu's house - of the ugu bigyan pottery which is part of the viaje del sol... the house is an art itself and if you get to see the inside everything is an art piece, well even the patio and walkways in his place are really an artist's haven.

ugu bigyan

Augusto "Ugu" Bigyan is a ceramics artist. Ugu produces dinnerware sets, decorative tiles and accent pieces for finishing walls and flooring. Aside from artistically displayed clayware, Ugu's workshop/showcase offers quaint huts with which one can relax and leisurely enjoy a lush garden trimmed with terracotta chimes, fountains and koi ponds. Meals are served but must be arranged in advance. Read more about the place here.

in the next few days i'll be posting more work of arts created by this great artist and this is one place you shouldn't miss when doing the viaje del sol tour. to those who aren't familiar with viaje del sol - viaje del sol or the way of the sun is a journey in the beautiful places of Laguna, Batangas, and Quezon... finding hidden treasures of cafes and restaurants, inns and country homes, and artist studios.  you can read my previous post in my first viaje trip two years ago here.

Photo taken from Kusina ni Salud (Salud's Kitchen) is owned and operated by Patis Tesoro, the renowned fashion designer and advocate of indigenous fabrics. The place is a typical old style filipino house with antique collections, and the place is surronded by trees and plants, your sensual and gustatory glands will surely appreciate this place. They also offer lunch buffet every sunday for only 395 per person.
