My name is Federica, and I am an artist and ceramic teacher, passionately dedicated to the world of clay and its endless possibilities. My journey with this remarkable medium began two decades ago, and throughout these years, it has flourished and transformed in ways I could never have anticipated.
Growing up amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Australia, I developed a profound connection with nature, an influence that has continuously guided my artistic expression. This bond allows me to immerse myself in earthy forms, organic colours, and rich textures, all of which are beautifully represented in my work.
I completed my studies in Italy, where I was born, specializing in decorative techniques on clay, which served as a solid foundation for my craft. However, it wasn't until I moved to Australia that I truly discovered my authentic artistic self in an unexpected and beautiful way. The vibrant surroundings and diverse culture sparked new inspiration within me, encouraging me to explore the intricacies of clay art on a deeper level.
As a ceramic teacher, I find immense joy in connecting with my students. Sharing my passion for clay with them feels like a sacred exchange, where I get to witness the unfolding of their hidden talents as they embark on their own creative journeys. I firmly believe that each individual harbours an untapped reservoir of creativity waiting to be discovered, and it is during the artistic process that this latent potential emerges in the most delightful ways.
All we need to do is venture forth, embrace our curiosity, and observe the magic that materializes in the dance between hands, clay, and imagination. Every class becomes an adventure, a collaborative exploration of the self, and it fills my heart with gratitude to be a part of this transformative experience.
