The Spring Group Project, curated by artists Lorenzo Cianchi and Maria Pecchioli, kicked off in Spring 2024. Stefania Carlotti, Matteo Montagna, and Iacopo Seri were invited to take part in 2024 group.
During the four days of the Spring Group Project, artists and curators shared their practices and participated in an open studio.
In this first season, the program started in Betty Woodman’s ceramic studio, with a focus on ceramics in multiple perspectives. The recently inaugurated kiln became a catalyst for ideas for past and future works.
We also did Bucchero, a ground firing under olive tree prunings, and picking up the works from the hot ground was fun and engaging. Artists presented projects, some related to coloring with glazes, others in the modeling stage.
The Spring Group picked up the baton of George and Betty, who for years animated these hills with their art making, by sharing in the spirit of friendship and artistic curiosity.
