Italian Summers ceramic plates, by Artist Claudio Assandri | it all starts with the designs | the making of Italian Summers ceramic plates

SEVERAL WAYS TO GIVE THE PLATES  THE FIRST COLOUR

Most of the time we buy our plates in a terra cotta colour. Then the plate needs a colour, there are several ways, dipping in a bath or using a compressor. Claudio has his own special way, he likes to blow the layer on the plate with his mouth.
