Maria Cotellessa
I am a sculptor who works mainly in ceramics, with a particular love for the raku technique and the way it gives my pieces a raw and unpredictable life of their own.
The Platform
The E-ART platform promotes sustainable art by giving artists who employ sustainable practices a place to exhibit their work and connect with a wider audience. This space is used as a teaching tool to inform the public about eco-friendly art methods, the effects of artistic production on the natural world, and the significance of sustainability in the arts.

Material Library
Saltdough
Saltdough is highly sustainable: it uses basic, readily available kitchen ingredients and requires no kiln or high-energy process to dry.
Leftover Clay and Low Temperature Glazes
This approach conserves both material and energy. Re-using clay avoids waste, while low-temperature firing minimizes energy use, making the ceramic process more eco-friendly.
Air Drying Clay
Air drying clay avoids the use of kilns, significantly reducing energy consumption. It’s suitable for classroom or home use and requires minimal resources, offering a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional clay processes.
