Dallas Ceramics Artist Molds Family Tradition Into Career |
"We ate dinner together every single day," Marcello said.In his studio, Marcello Andres connects with every piece he makes, quite literally. His hands shape the pieces, sand, and glaze them.
"At the end of the day, you really just have to slow your pace and connect with what you're doing. Be present," Marcello sanding out rough edges on a plate."When you think about it, it's kind of an intimate connection you're having, not only with the piece, but with the people who end up using it.""I went to SMU for finance and economics," Marcello said. An opportunity to show his work in an art installation opened a new career door.
While Marcello Andres makes plates and copitas for restaurants, he is also developing his own retail line, with hopes of bringing people together over a home-cooked meal. "If these pieces promote that and encourage people to do that, then I will feel like I am successful in what I'm doing," Marcello said."They're like your little babies, then you put your name on your work. It's hard not to feel like it's an extension of you a little bit."
