Through these nine stoneware sculptures Robbie Mazzaro intended to show the power of blind touch and its capacity to spark and evoke memory stored perceptions. Robbie aims to show how emotions are unique and different for everybody, depending on personal background. They are a result of a personal introspection of different periods of her life.

This series of sculptures created from white paper clay in a liquid state are inspired by seascape imagery. Inspired by marine creatures and coral textures, different layers were applied on a round shape that Robbie Mazzaro used as a mould and textured differently. Inside they are glazed with a mix of different blue/green colours.

These terracotta Nut vases are handbuilt by coiling red earthenware. Every piece is burnished with an agate stone when in a bone-dry state and covered with layers of terre decantate which Robbie Mazzaro produces. After the first firing, a white glaze is applied on the inside and on some lines. The finished touch is very smooth and looks like leather.

This raku ware sculptural teapot is part of the ARTÉ Tea Ware collection presented at the ‘Matres International Woman’s Ceramic Festival Experience 2020’. This teapot is handbuilt by coiling refractory clay and raku fired. The piece is placed in a bin with sawdust at 930°C, the smoke goes into the crackle glaze and unglazed part of the piece giving them the black colour and with the reduction the silver glazed details become metallic.
