Best Practices

• •Always Tell the Story of the "How": Focus copy on the creation process. Use words like "wheel-thrown," "hand-trimmed," and "process" to reinforce the value of craftsmanship.
• •Use a Personal, First-Person Voice: Write as Massimo. Use "I" and "my" to describe the passion, the challenges, and the inspiration. This maintains authenticity and a direct connection with the audience.
• •Emphasize "Quiet" and "Contemplation": Use a vocabulary that reflects the minimalist aesthetic and the meditative nature of the craft. Words like "simple," "form," "focus," "rhythm," and "reflection" will align with the brand's core.
• •Connect to Inspirations: Mention the influence of architecture and geometry in descriptions. This adds depth and intellectual weight to the brand narrative.
• •Be Both Artist and Teacher: Frame the brand as a source of both beautiful objects and valuable knowledge. This dual identity strengthens its authority and community appeal.
