Rounded volumes and iridescent surfaces
- Giulia explores traditional techniques and digital technologies
- Her objects help her build special connections with people
- She shares her knowledge with those who practise ceramics as a hobby
Giulia Giustiniani pays particular attention to the surfaces and textures of her ceramic objects. “Ceramics are inexhaustible materials, they always offer new ideas for experimentation, investigation and learning about one's self," she says. Giulia studied design at La Sapienza University in Rome and at the Polytechnic University of Milan, and fell in love with ceramics after attending different workshops. Her first teacher was her mother, who instilled in her a sensitivity to materials and a practical approach to craft. “I want to keep craftsmanship alive even when I am working with advanced technologies, such as 3D printing, parametric design and other new digital tools. This creates an active dialogue between the past and future,” Giulia says. In 2024, she opened her new workshop Con.creta, a large, structured space in which she organises courses for ceramics enthusiasts.
INTERVIEW
Ceramics give me the opportunity to create something concrete, original and unique. I am able to express myself, experiment with techniques and build special connections with people through the objects I create.
I have always been interested in textures, surface patterns and tactile qualities of materials. Through my works, I try to create harmony and composition. I let myself be guided by material suggestions and what the process spontaneously proposes.
My work combines art, design and craftsmanship. Each object is born from a thought and takes form through making. I am often surprised by the results.
People often perceive the creative, expressive side of ceramic work only, so they underestimate its physical and technical aspects. Behind every piece there is effort, research, patience and perseverance, not just inspiration.
