Biordi’s Artisans: The Best in Italian Ceramics

This 2012 video documentary showcases the Italian artists who produce Biordi Majolica.

Biordi Art Imports, located in San Francisco, has been bringing the finest Italian ceramics to the United States since 1946. We were the first Majolica store and still are the leader in this field.

In this video we will take you on a journey throughout the most ancient and renown ceramic towns of Italy. From Caltagirone in Sicily to Faenza, through Deruta, Gubbio, Castelli, Rimini, Florence and Siena.

You will see true masters at work in their studios and you will appreciate the classic designs and intricate patterns from Deruta, together with the works from the other ceramic towns.

This video was produced with love and dedication over a period of six month time by the same people who work at Biordi. In this video we want to share our profound feelings of appreciation when visiting our Italian artists.

Please visit us at and, if you get a chance, visit us at 412 Columbus Ave. in San Francisco.

Tierra Negra Ceramic Oven-to-Table Cookware – An Ancestral Tradition

This is the story of the artisan families who, following a 700-year-old ancestral tradition, make the satin-black ceramic cookware we know as Tierra Negra oven-to-tableware. Part of the cultural heritage of a few remote villages in the Colombian Andes, their skills have been handed down from generation to generation. Using only basic tools and locally-sourced clay, the pottery is crafted to designs unique to each family, and with each running their own small business.

These clay pots are widely used in restaurants and in homes throughout South America, where the rich flavours of slow cooking are highly cherished. The casseroles, cooking pots, saute dishes and tagines are typically seen in use on open fires, on other sources of direct heat and in ovens, before being brought to the dinner table.

Ceramic Review: Masterclass with Stuart Carey

'It was at the wheel where it all came together for me. Tableware became an obsession, I loved the functionality of it, that it would be used and loved.'

In this video, Stuart Carey takes us step-by-step through the processes he uses to throw a thin-walled bowl, which he spray-glazes once it is bisque-fired.

Discover how Stuart makes his work in the full step-by-step masterclass inside CR 299 (September/October 2019). You can order current and back issues of the magazine from ceramicreview.com.
