Unique Handmade Ceramics
I design and produce handmade ceramics using one of the most ancient techniques: the Coiling Technique. Each object is unique, shaped trough a gentle roll over of clay coils
Ceramic is an emotional material, it is good for making accessories for Her, furniture for the Table, lamps and Light cases, Pottery in general and much more. Visit the Gallery to discover more
I also make special lines of products for gift ideas and fancy sweet boxes and bombonnieres for events
Design is one of the most exciting phases of my work. I always have my sketchbook with me so that I can catch the inspiration whenever it comes! Do you want to join an enthusiastic creative process? Then, let’s design together your custom piece! I am open to every possibility, no limits to creativity! Visit the Custom Design page for more information
I am based in Rome, here is where my work takes place and my inspiration grows. If you are here, or you plan to visit The Eternal City, you can consider taking one of my ceramic courses where you can get the basics of the coiling technique and make your own handmade clay piece, all without any previous experience required

Come รจ fatto un forno per la #ceramica?
A quanto ๐๐ช๐๐๐?
Quante cotture devono fare i pezzi per essere pronti?
โ๏ธQueste sono tra le domande che piรน spesso mi fanno le persone che approcciano per la prima volta il mondo della ceramica.
๐กQuello che vedete in foto รจ il mio forno ma esistono diversi tipologie, per forma e prestazione ( ad esempio รจ molto diffuso il forno a pozzetto con apertura dall'alto). Arriva fino a massimo 1000 ยฐC ed รฉ per questo che si dice che cuoce a "bassa temperatura"... ร giร esistono forni che arrivano anche a 1300 ยฐC! Per le tecniche che uso mi basta arrivare a 960 ยฐC.
Ogni pezzo deve cuocere due volte:
๐Durante la ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ค๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ l"argilla diventa terracotta
๐Durante la ๐๐๐๐ค๐๐๐ ๐๐ค๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ la terracotta diventa ceramica grazie all'uso di cristalline o smalti che vetrificano e rendono l'oggetto lucido e impermeabile all'acqua.
Anche se sinteticamente spero di aver soddisfatto le vostre curiositร sul forno per la ceramica!
Sono qui se volete fare altre domamde!!
