About Padilla

Rodolfo Padilla grew up living his art at his father's ceramic studio. In 1981 he won a scholarship to study ceramic design and materials in Japan and then went on to continue his studies in Argentina and Italy. Rodolfo Padilla has presented his work at a number of expositions in Japan, Europe, South America, Mexico and the United States. He is an accomplished ceramicist and sculptor.

After mastering the technique of high-fired ceramics, Padilla's process includes firing the piece at high temperatures, letting it dry for a couple of days, removing the rough edges and then applying a lead-free glaze creating the appearance of it dripping before firing it again for a shorter period of time.

Currently Padilla divides his daily work time to several studios where he sculpts, creates new designs and oversees the production of the unique stoneware tableware pieces.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Stoneware

A very durable material, stoneware will last for years while keeping its original beauty. Each piece is fired twice at a high temperature and finished by hand. Minor imperfections are therefore a common characteristic of hand-finished stoneware products. Strict quality control has been established to ensure you the highest quality possible at the best price.

Glazes

There are many factors that determine variations in colors that result from high-fired glazed stoneware, many of which are a challenge to control. Therefore, each piece is unique and there are often variations in color.

Only lead-free glazes are used and the product is tested to ensure that there are no traces of either lead or cadmium.
