IFESTIO
IFÈSTIO means “Volcano” in Greek.
A hand built vessel, made in communion with the Elements and in trust with the divine within. This ceramic vessel is completely one of a kind, crafted slowly and with intention.
In the process of its creation, it has been covered with what I like to call “the blood of Mother Earth” - a rusty, iron-rich red pigment, which I collect here in the cretan mountains, left to its grainy, textured state. It feels like touching the Earth herself. Plant fibers have been ceremonially woven and tied onto the vessel, adorning it with Nature’s jewelry.
Time and use will continue to change the appearance of this piece, in the spirit of natural impermanence and ever evolving beauty.
Designed & crafted by Linda Pappa
