About the teacher:
Luca Tripaldi is an Italian artist based in Turin. After training in graphic design, he worked as a sculptor at Mario Audello Studios in Turin for ten years, making masks and special effects for many opera houses like Scala di Milano, Arena di Verona, etc. In 1998, he opened his workshop in Turin. His favored material is porcelain, preferring to work with unglazed surfaces decorated with ceramic transfers, using his personal technique and his own typical baroque drawings. In 2011, Luca blended his experience in materials together in the creation of porcelain, resin, and metal jewelry. Most part of his jewelry evokes creativity and attention to detail, similar to that which is typical of costume design in theatres. He conducts intensive activities as an instructor through the many workshops he holds throughout Europe, the United States, Canada, Russia, and Asia. He participated in several prestigious art and craft fairs, such as Sofa Chicago, Collect London, Bijoux Norton Museum, and Ceramic Art London. In 2013, during Sofa Chicago, he received a mention from David McFadden of MAD of New York for his porcelain rings. From 2013 to 2016, he wrote a technical ceramic column for the Italian ceramic review “La Ceramica in Italia e nel Mondo.”
