.SCULPTRESS AT WORK

My sister Clara Graziolino (Turin, 1975), is an Italian artist who works with clay in sculptures and site specific installations. Her work is part of private collections in Madrid, Milan, Paris, London, Moscow and New York. With a degree in contemporary history from the Turin University and a diploma in restauration (ceramics and sculptures) from the Istituto per l’Arte e il Restauro of Florence, she moved to Madrid to deepen her knowledge of ceramics. Working during seven years in the Moncloa ceramics school workshops, under the guidance of experienced ceramicists, she developed her own vision and her personal approach to the field of contemporary ceramics. Clara currently lives and works between Madrid and Turin.
