Lastra

Like Chihully’s glass organic shapes, these unique ceramic pieces are true art for both display and serving. - Made of a red clay earthenware body which is sturdy and dense. - Twice fired at stoneware temperatures, Organica can be used in the microwave, oven, freezer and dishwasher. Artisan of Organica describes his inspiration: “It is easier to create a collection than to explain how I got to the idea. I started with the word organic – something made by hand and touching the earth. My design never comes from a drawing. It comes from molding. It is born out of the hand, like Michelangelo. The clay becomes your hands. The clay creates the pieces. The colors come from many variations. Everything you do births something else new so a final creation takes many pieces, many colors, many tries. Doing nothing creates nothing. Doing something always creates something new.” – Francesco Venzo
