Display artist/maker:

Paolo Staccioli

Born: 1943, Italy, Florence, Scandicci

Ceramicist. Staccioli left school at 13. In the 1970s he first developed his career as a painter but since 1989 has worked mainly in ceramics. Largely self-taught, initially he painted on ceramics, but after attending a ceramic studio in Faenza, a major centre for ceramics in Italy, he developed other techniques including hand modelling and reduction firing.

Staccioli’s expressive modelled sculptures of horses, cherubs and warriors make fleeting references to ancient stories and myths. He has taken part in several of the Biennale held at the Museum of Ceramics in Faenza and in 1991 he demonstrated at the International Ceramics Festival in Aberystwyth.
