Luigi Pullini

Luigi Pullini is an Italian potter, researcher, and teacher whose practice centers on the use of self-sourced materials for clay bodies and glazes. Based in Italy, he develops workshops and intensive courses aimed at promoting an independent approach to ceramics, directly connected to the origin of materials and not to the suppliers. After graduating in Ceramic Design at the State Art Institute of Grottaglie, Luigi began a personal research path focused on self-producing stoneware and glazes from local clays, rocks, and plant ashes. His work is deeply rooted in atmospheric firing traditions—particularly wood and soda firing—and has been influenced by the legacy of Japanese and English studio pottery. Through his teaching, Luigi shares practical methods for collecting and transforming natural and anthropic materials into high-fire clay bodies and glazes, encouraging a more conscious and autonomous ceramic practice inspired by past traditions and adapted to contemporary needs.
