A beautiful unique sculpture of a female figure

Dreamer. An ethereal figure adorned with delicate charm, gentle beauty, elegantly gathered hair, and gracefully exposed shoulders. This creation embodies an idealized and evocative vision of a dreamy woman. Made from heat-resistant ceramic and decorated with soft colors that perfectly contrast with the textured surface created by matte glazes, revealing the masterful touch of the artist. Handcrafted.

Artefice Atelier is synonymous with the highest quality raw materials and human craftsmanship.

The dual nature of a ceramic object is one of the most fascinating aspects of human activity worth exploring. Truly, success in resolving the divide between practical problems and individual expression presents a creative challenge for Artefice Atelier. The way it approaches this topic defines its perception quality and artistic creativity.
SIICILY, OUR STRENGTH

Here, the power of volcanoes merges with a rich and fascinating history, inspiring culture, genuine traditions, and a vibrant present. This unique place unleashes inspiration through its wild beauty, eruptions, and history that still echoes in its ancient ruins.
Thanks to its natural majesty and timeless cultural heritage, Sicily offers endless nourishment for creativity.
In fact, this island, with its enchanting 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.

Each piece is made with care and love, with attention to detail; and the working method is part of the manufactory’s identity, which they never betray. It is fundamental for them to constantly seek new stimuli, original harmonies, broaden 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, fulfilling their desires through their artistic sensibility.

FROM THE EARTH TO MAJOLICA

Every work begins with a pencil sketch, translating the artist’s thoughts. From there, shaping the object transforms the imagined image into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water to almost magically create desired shapes. Left to dry for several days under special conditions, the object reaches the so-called “skin hardness” and is then ready for the first firing at around 1000°C.

Terracotta is then ready for decoration. This is a phase of the production process during which 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 across centuries. Sometimes, a third firing is necessary due to the gloss.
WITH ALL MY HEART

Dynamic, eclectic, based on artistic experimentation, continuous pursuit of beauty, and planning that makes Made in Italy its strength and pride. It relies on the highest quality materials and highly experienced artisans with refined craftsmanship.

The proposal for furnishing, style, and design of the modern home, presented through a profile mimicking various artistic expressions, where painting merges with different forms, expressed in unique objects—raw earth that can now become a vase, a lamp, or a lively, praying sculpture.

Cutting-edge technologies, a desire to experiment, ongoing research, and our motivation are the factors behind the brand’s success.

 
DESIGN, QUALITY, AND ORIGINALITY

Our entire production is driven by the pursuit of style, in the name of elegance and good taste, where tradition and modernity, design and innovation come together to offer a product of excellence.

Every detail expresses great passion and exquisite craftsmanship: profound knowledge of raw materials, majolica processing, and a careful love for details. Tangible results of relentless pursuit of beauty and character, where design merges with the experience of the most meticulous craftsmanship.

Artefice Atelier, being a fortunate meeting of stylistic inspiration from the past and a continuous search for the most modern allure, interprets high creativity at the highest level—an encounter of art, design, and good taste—while the alchemy of colors combined with materials creates marks that generate avant-garde objects with a unique and unmistakable personality.
