By Raffaella
Raffaella Molin’s clay journey began during childhood, as she recalls walking home with her father in Burano with a mud pot and a hand-picked bunch of flowers in tow. As she grew, she explored different mediums for her creativity; she spent five years working alongside glass powerhouse Carlo Moretti in Murano before moving to London to study fashion. Yet, she always found herself drawn back to clay. From her Oxo Tower-based studio, she coils and pinches by hand, letting her emotions of the day – rather than a premeditated sketch – influence the silhouettes. Inspiration is found all around but predominantly stems from the shapes and curves of the human form.
