Material: porcelain, clay, enamel, oenothera parviflora
Technique: I work free-hand, directly from natural-life. Before being fired the work generally requires extensive propping. I then biscuit fire, at a temperature of 1000°C. The work is then refired to bring out the qualities of the porcelain, at a temperature of 1300°C, giving it a soak of one hour and 30 minutes, afetr being glazed using a brush. I hand-paint, using enamel paints, adding various ingredients, for the desired effect. It is necessary to paint, fire and repaint, as many as seven times or more, at a temperature of 800°C.
Work Status: restituita
