Augusto "Ugu" Bigyan is a ceramics artist. Ugu produces dinnerware sets, decorative tiles and accent pieces for finishing walls and flooring. He enjoys great patronage from well-known individuals, up-scale hotels and posh resorts such as Amanpulo, Campo Travieza, Casa Patricia, El Nido, Hidden Valley and Villa Escudero. His residence cum workshop is located at Lusacan, Tiaong, Quezon. 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. A poster greets the guest with Bigyan?s quote: ?Challenges drive me to survive and they make me stronger every time I work with clay.? Presumably, this serves as his motto in life and art. Halina pasyal tayo! Visit and join: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/biyahero/ http://biyahero.blogs.friendster.com/
