A medieval town on a triangular cliff above Trapani, on the western tip of Sicily. Marble underfoot in patterns that wear smooth from a thousand years of feet. Norman walls. A castle on the ground where the ancients kept a temple to Venus. The cloud comes up the mountain most mornings and sits in the courtyards for an hour before it lifts. A small bakery near the Chiesa Madre still makes genovesi (almond pastry with sweet ricotta) to a recipe the cloistered nuns wrote down centuries ago. The cable car from Trapani takes ten minutes; most drive the long road up instead.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
