The redeeming virtue of craftsmanship
- • Fabio reconnected with ceramics through his love for making and food
- • His style is characterised by essential and organic shapes
- • He is inspired by nature and the beauty of a simple life
Growing up in Tuscany, a region with a strong tradition in terracotta and marble sculpture, instilled in Fabio Bernardi an early passion for making. "I have always found great joy in building things by hand, and I took my first course in clay at the age of 10." Eager to express his creativity and seeking a wider perspective, Fabio first moved to Florence and later to London, but found himself in an unfulfilling job at a computer. "I was frustrated by the consumerism that governs contemporary society, so far-removed from my personal approach to life." His desire to reconnect with nature and a slower, more natural way of living led him back to the elemental world of clay. Today, Fabio creates hand-built ceramics that celebrate the ritual of food and the pleasure of conviviality.

Flask vase
This vase is handcrafted from black stoneware clay by coiling and then glazed by pouring. There is a collection of these flask vases and all are a little rough where the surface is left unglazed, but that is exactly what makes them so special.
