   Agnolotti Vessels    
A series of ceramic vessels inspired by the tools and gestures used to make 'agnolotti', a type of ravioli from Piemonte, Italy. The series celebrates the similarities between working with clay and pasta dough as acts of caretaking, blending embodied cooking gestures with digital manufacturing techniques.

Each vessel is crafted using a mix of industrial and wild clay harvested from Italian soil, resulting in a range of terracotta tones.  These hues derive from the clay's natural pigmentation, reflecting the territorial dynamics 
that keep shaping Italian rural landscapes. The collection is made using a modular stackable plaster mold system, allowing for different configurations to be created. 

By blending slip-casting with 3D modeling and printing the series merges craftmanship with emerging technologies fostering dialogue about the preservation of cultural heritage in a rapidly changing world.
