THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Artisan Organization: Arsen Badalyan
Country: Armenia
"My name Arsen Badalyan and I've been creating pottery since the year 2000. Over the years, I delved into extensive literature and conducted numerous experiments. In 2015, I acquired my third large kiln, marking a turning point as I began focusing more earnestly on refining both the range and quality of my creations.
"My aim is to create works that will make people smile. I wish for my work to seamlessly integrate into people's daily lives as practical or tasteful home accents. The production process is executed with essential tools: rolling mills, clay processing machinery, plaster templates, and kilns.
"I exclusively use Armenian clay, processing all clay materials in my workshop. My palette is enriched with pigments derived from experiments, resulting in a myriad of colors.
"The artistic journey comprises of five stages:
1. Preparation of raw materials (both clay and glazes)
2. Shaping and forming the product
3. Initial firing
4. Application of glaze
5. Final firing
"My aspiration is to create products of impeccable quality that can hold their own against factory-made items."
