PASSION
INFORMATION ON THE POT

Valentino Piccioni

POTTER CERAMIST ARTIST

He was born in Rimini in 1973, "Since he was a child he discovered his passion for drawing and painting, first with tempera then with oil, in fact he painted many straw paper tablecloths in his parents' tavern, which he then assembled forming gigantic drawings that recall the nature of the Conca Valley. "In 1987 he attended IPSIA the Professional Institute for Industry and Crafts in Morciano di R. In 1996 he took his first steps in the nineteenth-century Bottega dei Vasai di Montefiore C. (RN) where he remained for several years alongside the master ceramist Cav. Ugo Franchetti. In 1998 he obtained the qualification for the Professional Training Course for Ceramists at Montefiore C. set up by the Province of Rimini. PU) In 2005 he set up his own workshop "Il Portico del Vasaio" in the hamlet of San Rocco di Saludecio (Rimini). In 2014 he set up a Cultural Association where he holds courses on pottery and shaping on the lathe. Over time, it develops a personal artistic path that blends traditional techniques and styles, an original experimentation in a modern key while preserving the production of typical local objects. Its colors range through the neutrality of white. grays and the intensity of black, ceramic glazes color the primordial colors of nature: it uses metal oxides such as iron, copper, manganese, cobalt that fire "magically" transforms into ocher, green, brown and into the blue. He has recently been going through a new and varied path of forms with Rosso. Each object is made without the use of molds, therefore no piece is the same as the other and can be defined as unique. Some design objects have the flavor and instinct of a fresh tradition. MAIN EXHIBITIONS, COMPETITIONS, EVENTS AND PUBLIC WORKS 2001 - International Ceramics Competition, City of Carouge Prize.
