the MAGIC lanterns of Monte Bondone carry the dreams of the GOOD children where they happen for REAL!

I’m French and I spent a big part of my life in Italy on Monte Bondone. There, some Hang-gliders pilots asked me to join a paragliding competition and an evening in a cellar (Volta or VOLT) as they were working on ceramics. One of them is Sergio Menestrina the creator of the magic lanterns design. Years passed and I worked clay on and off, giving more priority to professional work. Settling down in the UK I started to make Portraits and business signs in ceramic and took the original design of the magic lanterns and improve on fabrication methods, colours and design. Anna Saltafossi Berloffa another Monte Bondone resident provided the nice story about the children dreams.
The workshop is in Waddington in Lincolnshire.
