Artisans
of Now
Workshopseries
Our dream was to create a series of immersive workshops with the best artisans and artists we met on our path, in order to spread the common love for natural materials, fading crafts, and sustainable living and to share the knowledge around it with conscious, creative souls.
This is how Artisans of Now was born, an archive of tradition coming from different fields, ready to be put into practice during workshops held in the most beautiful locations around Italy, thoroughly curated and involving all senses for a sincere and memorable experience, in re -connection with Mother Earth.
To undust ancient traditions and make them timeless, we invited the artist and ceramist Nina Salsotto Cassina, founder of Unurgent Argilla, sorceress of soil and expert in wild clays.
With her we will learn how to read the territory, to collect the local earth, to process it in a natural way to obtain the clay and to model it by hand.
We will use texturing and smoothing techniques and discover the world of natural pigments that we will use to decorate our pottery.
Finally we will create an open-air fire to fire our creations, which will subsequently be lacquered with unexpected enamels.
This 5 day course is dedicated to those who wish to approach or deepen the world of natural clay, starting from the extraction of the raw material to its firing, in a sincere, independent and conscious way, in order to be able to replicate it everywhere with authenticity and low impact.
