The search for the special detail

...is one thing, finding the right shape and the desire to give each piece harmony and elegance is another. It characterizes every step of Elena Arosio's work. Her vessels and objects find their shape at the potter's wheel, are cut out to shine as luminous bodies or are polished and receive their very special surface as a vessel in a smoke fire.

Elena Arosio won the NEUEN KERAMIK Prize in 2025. A special exhibition featuring her work is on display in the Marble Hall of the castle.
