Embroidered ceramics

  • • Silver has always wanted to create handmade objects
  • • He worked for many Haute Couture houses in Paris
  • • The need to ennoble remains a prerequisite for his creation

Originally from Faenza, a city with a long ceramic tradition, Silver grew up in a sewing workshop knowing that one day he would end up creating objects with his hands. Passionate about the decorative arts and the history of fashion, he became interested in the techniques linked to these disciplines, which he learned to master patiently during his 20-year-career in the Paris fashion industry. His multidisciplinary approach borrows from his savoir faire, which he applies to his embroidered earth creations initiating a sensitive dialogue between clay, leather, textiles and metal. With complex interlacing of textures and reliefs on sandstone surfaces, he explores the archetypes of the container infusing them with a modern flair. Now running his own workshop, Silver wants to put all his experience at the service of his own creativity, without any compromise.
