CERAMICISTS OF ITALY

CERAMICISTS OF ITALY

Our Italian plates and bowls are designed and made by a family run ceramics workshop in Southern Puglia which dates back 18 generations. They still use the same age old techniques in their historic studio which has 15 kilns, 12 master potters some of whom also turn, finish and model the products, 2 Kilns men, 4 decorators. The potters still shape the clay by hand, some with the use of moulds before they are laid out to dry on long racks in the vast workshop. After cooling they are glazed and then painted by hand before firing for a second time.
