Most recently he guides his work to a more personalised and self-produce development, has a result of his master’s investigation regarding ceramics. The knowledge of these two dimensions, mass production and self-production, has allowed him the unique chance of developing new methods of shaping ceramics.
Ceramics is a product characterized by the form and resulting from the cold molding of a clay inorganic matter subsequently hardened by heat.
