His favorite production method is\u00a0 known as \u201csgraffito\u201d &#8211; in English &#8220;scratched&#8221;.\u00a0 He applies a layer of engobe or liquid clay on a leather hard pottery piece. When dry he\u00a0 scratches the layer to form a design and reveal the clay color underneath. After the first kiln firing he applies glassy, intensely colored glazes, one by one, firing the pottery up to 3 times.<\/p>\n<p>The result is just amazing: a real treat for Italian pottery lovers.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">By Tiziana Manzetti<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a city like Grottaglie, where pottery making is one of the main resources, Francesco Fasano\u2019s ceramics stand out for their unusual designs, sophisticated elegance and technical superiority.
