Materia e tecnica: Stoneware pebbles fire at 1180 - 1200 °C. Argilic stonesfired at 1100 °C, 1150 °C, 1180 °C, sand (natural) stoneware driftwoods and different elements as broken glass tins etc. It presents a bay.

Tecnica: My present work is part of a research concerning argilic stones found in different parts of Greece and fired in natural conditions. The stones of this work were found Parnassos Ski Centre and needed at last three firings in order to reach their melting point in 1190 °C. The stoneware pebbles are made by English buff stoneware, white stoneware and dark clay from Crete. Some of them are fired in reduction. The drift woods are stoneware 1220 °C, one oxidized and one reduction fired. The elements like tin and sea shell were found in Marathon beach where I also got my sea sands. The whole idea is dedicated to the 1987 International year of Enviroment.
