Potomak Studio
Potomak Studio is a workshop based near Trento, in the north of Italy, where unique porcelain pieces are designed and manufactured entirely by hand, from shaping to coloring to glazing, by Donatella Parotto and Mauro Bonvecchio.
Producing each object is a challenging endeavor. Many pieces are thrown away because of the workshop's strict quality controls and the complexity of the production process. The watercolor effect seen in each piece requires the delicate task of developing textures with special finishes before the final baking process, which can last up to 15 hours at extremely high temperature of 1250 degrees. The results are amazing in terms of the brightness and light-weight nature of each item.
