Amaaro

Amaaro is a workshop for designing and making ceramic objects born in 2011 from the collaboration between Claudia and Martino, a painter and an architect.
After an initial experimental phase and some collective exhibitions, the couplefocuses on everyday objects and their poetic and symbolic reinterpretation. The non-academic training allows amaaro to explore the world of ceramics in total freedom, to move
between colors and shapes with curiosity. Love for art, historical and contemporary, nature and the immense beauty in which they are immersed, are a constant source of inspiration; ideas take shape like a river in flood and become compositional elements of a very personal and evocative world. It takes years of trial and error, in-depth study, specific courses between Faenza and Tuscany, but above all passion and dedication.
Traditional Italian craftsmanship is a fundamental part of the company's philosophy, which aims to create high-quality products with contemporary design. Observation, inspiration, idea, project and realization: many are the phases that lead to the completion of
the works; the choice of raw materials is of fundamental importance: earthenware, stoneware and porcelain are the preferred mixtures because they allow better color management. After molding, the objects are fired and fired to be glazed and fired again with a temperature range of 950° to 1280°, depending on the mixture.

The first hills of Emilia are clays crossed with plaster, basicallyall that is needed to make ceramics; in fact, it is the use of plaster casts and the skillful use of liquid earths for casting that gives Amaaro's works that realistic and dreamy trait.
Since its founding, Amaaro has complemented its exhibition activitieswith collaborations with various chefs, specialty retailers and private collectors. The ceramics are made entirely by hand in the workshop in Montecchio (RE) housed in an old farmhouse nestled in the Emilian countryside.
