The Tide Pools are one of a kind objects & jewelry trays handmade by Teresa Lobelia d’Arienzio, an Italian Ceramic Artist who shared her studio in Arezzo with Céline ever since she started making jewelry. Right from the start both artists did not only share the creative space but also the same vision about aesthetics, textures and the value of handcraft.
„When I noticed that I used the amazing ceramic pieces by Teresa more and more to make pictures of my jewelry, I realized that we should finally make something together. My first idea was to create organic shaped jewelry trays made of clay. After some first prototypes Teresa came up with this bag full of sea glass that she had collected on beaches near her home town in the south of Italy, and we decided to upcycle them to create the watery ground of what we had decided to make: Tide pools. These small natural sea basins are my biggest inspiration every time I go to France to the wild coast of Britany. Since I was a kid, I spent hours of my holidays in Britany starring into the microcosm of tide pools. And I still do. With every tide there comes something new, something different; every tide pool is unique, and this is what my jewelry is all about.
I believe that collaborating with another artist is very intimate; it also can be challenging because you have your own ideas about what something should look like, but when you find the right person, it just feels natural, and there's something coming out that you couldn't have done on your own. My wild gold and silver creatures now have a home, in their natural habitat, the Tide Pools.“
