The dual nature of a ceramic object is one of the most fascinating aspects of human activity to explore. Truly, success in balancing practical problems with individual expression presents a creative challenge for Artefice Atelier. The way it approaches this theme defines the quality of its perception and artistic ingenuity.
SYRACUSE, 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, eruptive history, and the echoes of ancient ruins.
Thanks to its natural majesty and timeless cultural heritage, Sicily offers endless nourishment for creativity.
Indeed, this island, with its captivating landscapes and rich culture, is a creative cradle for Artefice Atelier, from which it draws the essence of its works. Artistic artifacts shaped by master craftsmen carry 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 crafted with care and love, with attention to detail; and the working method is part of the manufactory’s identity, never to be betrayed. They are committed to 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, fulfilling 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 an imagined image into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water to almost magically create desired shapes. After leaving the piece to dry for several days under 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 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’ shine and preserves the paints through the ages. Sometimes, a third firing is necessary for gloss.
