Francesca Addari started practising the art of ceramics as a self-taught artisan, showing great artistic sensibility and manual skills, especially at lathe processing. In 2002, she started her atelier “Antica Arte della Ceramica” (The Ancient Art of Ceramics) at Usellus, near Oristano, where she is free to express her creativity, inspired by nature and the local landscape.
Her creations, although evoking nuragic culture, feature modern-day minimal shapes and decorations in her vases, dishes and lamps, elegantly fitting both classic and modern environments. Enamelling and graffiti engraving are used for decorations.
Francesca Addari is actively engaged in promoting Sardinia’s creative sector and takes part in the main local exhibitions.

Thinking back to when I met Francesca, the image that comes to my mind is her, working at the potter’s wheel, with her hands spontaneously creating gracious, simple and powerful shapes. Francesca is able to interpret the lines and symbols of the ancient Nuragic culture with remarkable aesthetic balance, resulting in a peculiar ceramic production characterized by essential and, at the same time, very unusual shapes, decorated with accurate and striking graphic lines.
