Hi, this is Marina Bosetti of Bosetti Art Tile & Pottery. It’s been a while since I posted, but I just got back from a fantastic trip to Italy. I visited three cities and took an excellent class at La Meridiana, an International School of Ceramics in Tuscany. Tuscany is like a storybook; see for yourself. I’ll tell you more at the Boylan Heights ArtWalk on December 8th.

I'm Running Away From Home
In April, I told you I had applied for an artist residency in the Pacific Northwest. I knew there was a good chance I wouldn't get it, so I started thinking about how I could provide an opportunity like this for myself. Here’s what I’ve come up with.

My garden is in transition. It’s beautifully green, and while the spring blooms are fading, the summer colors of cone flowers, black-eyed susans, and gladiolas are coming up. And I’m there, too, in transition—after two fabulous shows, meeting new customers, seeing an array of fantastic art and artists, and connecting and reconnecting with folks. I’m ready to return to the studio and put my heart, soul, and hands into the clay.

After a relaxing evening and a fantastic night’s sleep, I’m eager to finish the drive and set up for TileFest 24 . The festival includes an array of contemporary, vintage, and antique tiles to view and purchase. There will be demonstrations, ceramic activities, free tours of the tileworks, a working history museum where you can see the tiles being made. Where there are potters, there is food, which means a great line-up of food trucks for all to enjoy. This is a event!

Flora and fauna, the human form, and most of all, my clients inspire me. They can choose from images and color schemes from the website or give me a list of items they'd like included in their mural, telling me colors to include or exclude. Creating from a list of images I would never put together, in colors I wouldn't naturally go to allows my creativity to open wide. I can be inclusive to not only the images desired but to the feelings, they inspire.
I am influenced by the Art Nouveau movement. I love the idea of uniting organic and geometric forms into designs that flow and follow the spirit of Art Nouveau to bring beauty to every day. My tiles can be found in homes as wall murals, kitchen and bath backsplashes, countertops, sinks, tub and fireplace surrounds. Each hand-made, hand-glazed Bosetti Art Tile project is unique.
Using the ancient technique of cuerda seca – a cloisonné-inspired method that mimics the look of mosaic – each tile’s rich ceramic glaze begs to be touched.
Since graduating from Pratt Institute in 1982 with a BFA in sculpture, I have spent my life devoted to clay. Over the years there has been a progression from sculpting to pottery to art tile and back again. Throughout it all, I have consistently worked to distill the sensual and spiritual aspects of life into accessible design, image, and easy-to-care-for, durable artwork.
My studio is located in historic Boylan Heights. Please email me to make an appointment.
