Artistic approach

A series of vases crafted using wheel throwing and hand-building techniques. My process, guided by emotion and the allure of clean lines, relies on experimenting with forms and glazes, which I create myself from natural minerals. My free and intuitive practice explores the relationship between material, gesture, and emotion. Each object becomes the site of a dialogue—between memory and sensation, between function and aesthetics. Olivia Coarelli initially trained in hand-building at the Academy of Fine Arts in Watermael-Boitsfort. She continued her apprenticeship with Belgian and French ceramicists, where she discovered the world of studio life. In 2020, she spent a year training at EMA CNIFOP in Burgundy (France), earning her CAP (Certificate of Professional Competence) in ceramic throwing. Today, she throws in her studio nestled in the heart of the Marolles district in Brussels. Under Nisha Ceramic, she offers living objects shaped using throwing and modeling techniques
