Artist's steatement I am very proud of my profession. My grandfather and father was a potter; so you can imagine how important this craft is to me. When my father died, I worked hard to learn this craft and to succeed. As a matter of fact, I not only won several 1st prizes at the "Mondialtornianti", but I received other important awards too. Throwing is not so easy, and you need to be very confident with the wheel to have quality results. Along with the potters wheel, I work as a sculptor, which I like very much. I fire raku objects made of different kind of clays when the weather allows me to do it. I use even stoneware, refractories, or I combine different materials to obtain interesting background effects. As a consequence, I dare say, I always try to find new results with glazes too.
