FROM EARTH TO MAJOLICA

Each work is born from a pencil sketch, which is the translation of the artist's thought. From there, shaping the object transforms the image of imagination into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water and can almost magically create the desired shapes. Left to dry for a few days under special conditions, the object reaches the so-called "leather-hard" stage and will thus be ready for the first firing at about 1000°C.

Terracotta is then ready for decoration. This is the phase of the production process where the artist gives their all. It often involves giving space to imagination and color.

The production process ends with a second firing at about 920°C, which gives brilliance to the colors and fixes the paints over the centuries. Sometimes, due to the shine, a third firing is necessary.
