Pomegranate Platter by Federica Massimi

Exploring shapes, curves and techniques, produce unique aesthetic and functional pieces, imagining to create “ceramics to eat”

“All my products are handmade and I often like to start by doing a sketch with pantons, leaving me inspire from what I see around me or what I feel inside me.
I find the initial sketch a fundamental tool in the creation of the project, necessary to focus attention on the composition, between shapes and colors.
I am fascinated by the contrast of colors and a type of vibrant and imperfect illustration where reality and imagination meet to create well-defined curves supported by a palette full of bright colors. “
Each piece is entirely molded and decorated by hand using a local white clay obtained from a mixture of caelinic clays and calcium and magnesium carbonates.
No piece is exactly equal to each other and this gives uniqueness in appearance and in touch.
