The tiles are wood-fired with an ancient Italian technique also known as bucchero. The firing happened over a period of two weeks between April and May 2024, during a residency at Case Rondò in Piedmont (Italy) and was made in collaboration with the Italian ceramist Giovanna Barroero.
The Bucchero is still produced today by a small number of Italian artisans and yet, finding detailed information on its process is not an easy task; the aim of the collaboration was thus to learn how to reproduce this method through a hands-on approach.
The tiles are ingraved with some drawings depicting culinary stories.
