SICILY, OUR STRENGTH

Here, volcanic power merges with a rich and fascinating history, inspiring culture, deep-rooted traditions, and a vibrant present. This unique place unleashes inspiration through its wild beauty, eruptions, and a history that still echoes in its ancient ruins.
Thanks to its natural majesty and timeless cultural heritage, Sicily offers endless inspiration for creativity.
In fact, this island, with its breathtaking landscapes and rich culture, is the creative cradle of Artefice Atelier, from which it draws the essence of its works. Artistic artifacts shaped by master craftsmen contain the fiery energy of volcanoes and the depth of ancient Sicilian legends, giving each piece a unique soul.
TO CREATE

One of our strengths is continuous idea exchange with clients. Comparing their thoughts and needs is an essential and irreplaceable source of inspiration for creating new items.

Every piece is crafted with care and love, attention to detail; and the working method is part of the brand’s identity, never to be betrayed. They prioritize constantly seeking new stimuli, original harmonies, broadening horizons through artistic expressions that are never banal and always experimental.

The brand also distinguishes itself by the quality of raw materials it works with, such as stoneware suitable for tableware. Every day, they work to achieve the main goal: to channel all creativity into serving others, realizing their desires through their artistic sensibility.

FROM THE EARTH TO MAJOLICA

Every work begins with a pencil sketch, translating the artist’s thoughts. This shapes the object, transforming imagination into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water to almost magically create desired shapes. After leaving the piece to dry for several days in special conditions, it reaches the so-called “skin hardness” and is ready for the first firing at around 1000°C.

Terracotta is then ready for decoration. This is a phase in the production process where the artist gives their all. Often, it’s about giving space for imagination and color.

The production process ends with a second firing at about 920°C, which enhances the colors’ gloss and preserves the paints through the ages. Sometimes, a third firing is necessary for the shine.
