              "Helsinki Fat Clay group represents different styles recalling a great tradition and a rich art movement 
               made up of several divergent elements harmoniously linked to each other.  They present the idea of a 
               common project respecting each personality.  This results in unique pieces of stoneware and porcelain, 
               examples of design and informal art stretching from elegant conceptual minimalism to photo-ceramic 
               techniques, from the perfect line of form to pop art emanating from manga-cartoons.

              Someone defined the philosophy of this group as “formal asceticism.”  To support this thesis, it is possible 

              to find in the artist’ actions an absolute respect for the synergy of the four elements, for their origin, for the 
              materials, from ancestral and archaic dimensions to the most sophisticated vanguard while respecting the 
              contemporary world and its cultural background.

              Helsinki Fat Clay represents a powerful group in the country known for the Arabia Porcelain Factory 

              founded 130 years ago, where designers and artists operated with a far-sighted vision devoted to the 
              preservation and wealth of the ceramic world."
