Super adorable
So lets ask Rossella, how she does it all....
- What is your favourite part of creating beautiful ceramic ware?
R: I really like the designing and decorating process. I constantly work on
my designs and process because I believe colors and patterns are just
as important as shape and functionality. Some of my pieces take up to an
hour to paint, and I often use four different glazes that have to be
applied at different times. Every step is necessary to obtain the final
result. Details are key to me – from testing and selecting the best raw
materials to using extra care to pack every piece on its way to my
customers.
- Have you always wanted to do that?
R: Yes, I have. It is always been something I wanted to try, and when I
finally had the chance to do it it felt right. The potters' wheel is
highly addictive!
- Which is your personal favourite of them?
R: My favorite piece to make is the ceramic vase from my Black Bird Fly
collection. I throw it on the potter’s wheel in the same relaxing and
meditative way I throw all my pieces, but decorating it is truly
special. I hand paint nine black swallows on each vase, and afterwards I
see a flock of birds before my eyes. It’s like staring at the sky on a
clear spring day, and it always cheers me up!
- How does your normal working day looks like?
R: It really depends on what other tasks I have for that day, but I try to
work on the potter's wheel during the day, when the studio is sunny and
warm, and keep other duties for the evening (packing orders, answering
emails, etc.).
- What is your most memorable moment, when opening a shop on Etsy?
R: I came to Etsy by chance, opening my shop when I had no more room to
store all my pieces. I wasn’t planning to start a business, but after
some positive feedback I decided to turn it into a full-time job. Since
then, my shop has grown bigger and my creations have evolved, but my
customers' emails and thank you notes are still the what makes every day
memorable.
Thank you Rossella for sharing.
