Slowing Down with Clay: The Story of Martina Geroni
From architecture to clay, Italian ceramic artist Martina Geroni has shaped a life that values presence over speed.
In her studio, each vessel is an act of patience and a mirror of her own transformation. Through techniques like Kurinuki (carving away to reveal form) she finds not just beauty, but release.
Her work carries her grandmother’s recipes, her own questions of balance and the quiet courage of choosing a slower path.
In this conversation, Martina shares how clay taught her to center, what it means to subtract in order to become and why women should live their talent fully.
The Most Enduring Beauty Is Woven Slowly
At Su Trobasciu in Sardinia, women weave as their mothers and grandmothers once did.
Each rug and tapestry carries patience, memory and resilience, reminding us that the strongest beauty is never rushed.
It is woven slowly, in cloth, in love, and in life.
