In my studio in Viganello, ceramics becomes much more than an art form: it’s a fusion of passion, tradition, and innovation. Each piece I create is the result of a unique experience, a process that blends the ancient craft of ceramics with contemporary trends. Clay , shaped by hand, tells the story of its maker, and it’s this story that I want to share with those who enter my creative world. With a degree in Ceramic Design and over 15 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of furthering my knowledge through courses and workshops in Switzerland , Italy , and Japan , where I refined traditional techniques and explored innovative approaches. This continuous commitment to learning allows me to offer my clients not only unique pieces but also a high-quality artistic experience that goes beyond simple creation: it’s an opportunity for personal growth. In my studio , I create sculptures , home decor items, ceramic jewelry , and functional objects like plates , cups , vases , and much more. Each piece is born from aesthetic exploration and the intent to combine design with functionality. Every creation is unique, designed to reflect not only my artistic research but also the needs of those who approach me in search of something special and one-of-a-kind. If you are looking for an object that tells a unique story, something you won’t find anywhere else, my studio is the perfect place to bring your idea to life. One of the most important aspects of my work is teaching . I offer ceramic courses for both beginners and advanced levels, for adults and children. Each course is tailored to meet individual expectations, allowing each participant to experience something that goes beyond technique. The courses are organized flexibly, both private and group sessions, and take place not only in my studio in Lugano but also in other locations when needed, where I hold workshops for anyone who wants to discover the world of ceramics. Each class is an opportunity to experiment and release creativity, exploring together techniques such as modeling, throwing, decoration, and glazing. For me, the art of ceramics is a means of communication, a way to express emotions and ideas through the hands. In this process, clay becomes the medium through which we rediscover the joy of creating something with both body and mind in an increasingly fast-paced and virtual world. My goal is for each participant to experience a creative and meditative journey that encourages concentration and personal expression. Custom commissions are one of my specialties. Whether it's creating an exclusive object for the home , designing pieces for restaurants , or crafting personalized gift items , each request is handled with the utmost care and attention. Every custom project begins with a dialogue with the client, translating their ideas and desires into ceramics, creating something truly unique. Collaborating with artisans, interior designers , and restaurants allows me to develop exclusive artisanal projects, creating unique and functional decor solutions. I work closely with clients to ensure that every piece perfectly meets their needs, combining the beauty of ceramics with modern, functional design, intended to enrich spaces and everyday experiences. In my studio , it’s not only about the creation of objects, but also about building a community. I am a member of local and international ceramic and artisan associations, and by participating in events and fairs, I strive to promote ceramics as a form of cultural and creative expression. These collaborations are key to creating a link between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design, enhancing ceramic heritage in a modern way. If you wish to explore your creativity through a ceramics course or commission unique pieces for your home , business , or as a special gift , my studio is the ideal place to experience the passion for craftsmanship, excellence, and innovation. Every project is designed to offer you a unique experience, balancing tradition and contemporary design. I look forward to seeing you! Valentina

Cercavo un apparecchio per santificare gli ambienti e mi sono rivolto a loro che sono stati molto disponibili e preparati. Per finire ho trovato quello che cercavo e sono contento dell'acquisto. Consigliabile.

Cliente da anni, sono molto soddisfatto

Ho sempre avuto un buon serviziopo ed i prodotti che servivano, in tempi brevi,

Als Notfall musste ich im Urlaub zu Dr. E. Walder. Er hat sich hervorragend bemüht und mein Wohlergehen war ihm ein grosses und ernstes Anliegen. Dies obwohl er mich nicht gekannt hat!

La signora Fontana e la gentile Raffaella hanno saputo esaudire i miei desideri. Per una cena di gala, cercavo tre grandi mazzi di fiori. Il tema della serata era il “SOLE”, quindi il DressCode era il color giallo. Avevo il compito di riempire dei grandi vasi in cristallo di Murano color verde con delle composizioni floreali. Sono stato consigliato molto bene: visto il colore predominante (giallo) e il colore dei vasi (verde), mi hanno vivamente consigliato di optare per dei fiori bianchi. La serata è stata un grande successo e tantissimi ospiti hanno espresso grande soddisfazione per la scelta dei bianco nelle sue sfumature accompagnato da foglie verdi. Un successo! GRAZIE

Kompetenz und Menschlichkeit stehen an erster Stelle. Fantastisches Team! Sehr empfehlenswert!
