How your horse painted on a plate is born

Why do you have to have your horse painted on a plate?

Because your horse doesn’t deserve a cold photograph but more. Much more.

We at Club Horse love horses, all horses and, like all people who love horses, we would like our horse to always be next to us but, for almost all of us, this is not possible because it is much, much bigger. of a cat or a dog and, of course, you cannot keep it indoors.

So we asked ourselves a question

If you can’t have your beloved horse at home, how can you always have an image of him in front of your eyes?

Not with a photograph

Photography is cold and mundane and your horse, your beloved horse deserves much more than just a photograph.

Your horse is important and precious, very precious so his image must be a unique image on something precious.

That’s why your horse needs to be painted on a plate.

But not on just any dish. Your horse will be painted on a plate only if the plate is in a precious material, as precious as your horse and the majolica is very, very precious.

So we asked …

So we asked our artist, very good at painting horses and making magnificent majolica objects, to do it for our friends.

She immediately accepted with enthusiasm and told us that to make a perfect majolica plate you need a long, delicate and difficult job that begins with the photograph of your horse and, therefore, each plate is unique in the world, like your horse, and very different from the cold series production of other decorations.

To better understand the high artisan value of each piece, we will tell you how the majolica plate is created with the image and, if you want, also with the name of your horse.

In the meantime, the dusting is made: a perforated design on light paper used to transfer the design to the surface of the plate, using a bag of coal dust which is gently beaten on the surface, obtaining a very light dotted trace.
