Paola Paronetto

About the creator

Paola Paronetto is an Italian ceramist. She started her training at a young age in the beautiful countryside between Umbria and Tuscany, where she learnt modelling techniques and took her first steps into a world that fascinated her immensely. After a quest of more than 30 years in which Paola Paronetto experimented with very different techniques and materials and searched for her personal style, she decided to devote herself to paper clay. After a long and labour-intensive process, this led to the "Cartocci" collection, a rich series of sculptural objects of which the Paola Paronetto Anemone bowl is the most famous.

What exactly is this paper clay that Paola Paronetto's Cartocci Collection is made of? Paper clay is made by mixing ordinary clay with paper fibres. After firing, paper clay has the same properties as ordinary fired pottery objects, but the look and feel is completely different. Paola Paronetto has developed an unmistakable signature with her way of working with paper clay. The coarse ridges are reminiscent of folded cardboard and the 'folded' surfaces look like pieces of paper stuck together. Combined with the expressive colours, an object by Paola Paronetto is an eye-catcher in any interior. Especially the Paola Paronetto Anemone bowl, which can be used as an abstract object but also as a real bowl. Paola Paronetto's paper clay bottle shapes are also very recognisable and a beautiful object in any room.
