The collection
In his laboratory Alessio Sale crafts exclusive creations, artistic and decorative objects featuring the artful craftsmanship of forms, deliberately playful and with a clever use of glazes, combined with each other, with vibrant large brush strokes and shiny surfaces. The production consists of several collections inspired by local wildlife and the marine world: Shark, Flying fish, Rainbow fish, Cat, Rooster and Hen are some of the animals used in this rich production. The initial collection crafted with glazed ceramic has lately been increased with a new collection characterised by a skillfully implemented Raku technique.
The technique
The ceramist carries out his creations with several molding techniques, sheet-based, lathe-based and manual molding, used individually or in combination. For decorations, he uses glazes and brushed enamels. The Raku technique is the current potter's expertise that will be enriched in the future, following an ever-changing career.
