Artisans
of Now
Workshop series
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 in practice during laboratories hold 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 be
subsequently lacquered with unexpected enamels.
This 5 days 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.
