Welcome to my website!
In my studio pottery I give classes,
I create to sell in markets during the year, and I work for private orders if you are looking for something that's unique.

my creations.
The name of my studio pottery is my first name Scintilla (meaning spark in Italian).
My interest in various forms of arts led me to pottery as an expression of my personal being.
At Scintilla ceramique, we believe in the simple pleasures of life, where sipping from a hand-thrown mug feels like a comforting embrace and serving a meal on artisanal plates transforms dining into an experience of rustic elegance.
Throwing on the wheel is my true passion, together with the creation of interesting recipes for glazes.
Using stoneware clay, I make unique tableware, such as coffee and tea sets, various plates and bowls, jugs and teapots.
Each piece is unique and results from the balance between shape color and function.
I graduated 'Maestro d'Arte' at the ceramic school “F. Faccio” in Italy and later I graduated in architecture from the Polytechnic of Turin, Italy.
After a work experience as a potter in a renowned studio pottery in New Mexico (USA) with British potter Andrew Sanders (www.amspottery.com) I moved to Switzerland.
I've been a professional potter for more than 15 years.
In my studio, I also give lessons throughout the year.

classes.
Classes for adults are aimed at beginners as well as those with some experience of working with clay. We work together on projects or themes to learn the basic ceramic techniques - slab rolling, coiling, pinching, throwing and glazing.
You are also very welcome to work on your own ideas and projects under my guidance!
The groups are small (6-7 people) and you will receive lots of individual attention and work from the basis of your own qualifications and interests.
I give lessons in French, English or Italian. Registration for courses can be made at any time and can be renewed each month. The course fee must be paid during the first session of the workshop.
