The exterior of this hand-turned ceramic vessel is covered with a glaze applied with a paint-sprayer. Antonino believes the decoration process is a fundamental step in the creation of his ceramic vessels. Only one colour tone was used. The different depths of colour were achieved by applying more or fewer coats of the glaze.

The surface of this turned ceramic vessel has been decorated with glaze applied with a paint-sprayer. Yellow and blue glazes were combined to create the green hue of the exterior surface. Antonino particularly savours the colouring process, considering it an essential step in the creation of his pieces. He discovered this enamelling technique during his studies and has since made it his own.

Only one colour tone was used to decorate this turned ceramic vessel. The different tones were achieved by using a spray gun to apply varying quantities and layers of glaze.

Antonino found the vibrant yellow glaze used in this piece in the closing-down sale of a ceramics factory in a nearby town. Initially unsure how such a strong colour would work with others, he found it went surprisingly well with brown. He crafted a number of pieces using the glaze from the factory but has since been unable to recreate it or find it elsewhere.

The shape of this deep-orange ceramic vessel was achieved by flattening pieces of clay using a press. The “pressed” clay was then carefully shaped into a form so light, it can be rocked by a slight gust of wind. Antonino applied the final colour to the vessel using a paint-sprayer. He used just one colour but created different tones by applying varying quantities and layers of that colour.
