He is a Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic and member of IAC International Academy of Ceramics, Geneva, Switzerland.

He graduated with a degree in Geology and a diploma at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, Italy.

He was invited to the 54th International Art Exhibition of the Biennale of Venice (2011, curated by Vittorio Sgarbi) and was President of the “Ballardini” Ceramic Art Institute in Faenza, Italy, from 1986 to 2012.

He has undertaken research on ceramic and neon materials.

His works are held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Shin-Kobe underground railway Shinkansen Station in Kobe, Japan, Fuping FuLe International Ceramic Art Museums China, Ceramics Museum Zibo and Taisan Factory Collection, Zibo, China.

Since 2013, he has been a member of NCECA (National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts, USA), of MI.MA (“Milano Makers” – an Executive Committee member since 2015), of IGIIC (“Italian Group International Institute for Conservation”) and IAC (International Academy of Ceramics, member since 2015).

The course’s objective is to integrate specific and personal images on the ceramic pieces.

Several techniques will be used to bring up the image on a piece.

The work will be done in part on “leatherhard” rawclay, and also on already glazed pieces with complex surfaces, using the photochromatic technique.

Therefore we ask you, after registration, to provide us 2 files (A3 pages) on which you have inserted pictures, patterns, personal visuals.
It is important that we can print in advance these works so the applications will be closed one month before the course begins.
