Lo studio The studio

Adele Stefanelli ceramics are strongly influenced by Chinese and Korean ceramics which she first saw as a student while visiting the Baur collection in Geneva. She was also struck by the simple beauty of Sudanese pottery which she discovered in the Sudan while teaching English there.
The marvellous objects in the Victoria and Albert Museum, in the British Museum and in the Shanghai Museum, the dozens of books she has collected from all over the world - on the different Chinese and Korean Dynasties - strongly marked her path. The perfect beauty of the Song ceramics fascinated her and became her guiding light.
She regularly travels to China, Jingdezhen, to deepen her porcelain craftsmanship, and to South Korea where she has already worked with Masters Kim Se Yong and Lee Hyang Gu.
She also went to Japan to take private classes with Mio Heki to perfect the technique of Kintsugi, the ancient Japanese art of repairing ceramics with gold.
She creates all her objects on the wheel, in stoneware and porcelain, even the so-called 'eggshells'; she personally develops her own glazes from ancient Chinese and Korean formulas and fires her creations in her gas kiln at temperatures ranging from 1250 to 1320 degrees, depending on the glazes and effects she wants to achieve.
In the extraordinary environment of the Crea sites, she finds the peace she needs to focus on her work.
