SICILY, OUR STRENGTH

Here, volcanic power merges with a rich and fascinating history, inspiring culture, deep traditions, and vibrant contemporary life. This unique place unleashes inspiration through its wild beauty, eruptive energy, and history that still echoes in its ancient ruins.
Thanks to its natural majesty and timeless cultural heritage, Sicily offers endless nourishment for creativity.
Indeed, 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 artisans 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, 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 stands out for 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. From there, shaping the object transforms the imagined image into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water to almost magically create desired shapes. After leaving the object to dry for several days in special conditions, it reaches the so-called “leather-hard” stage and is then ready for the first firing at around 1000°C.

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

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

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 craftsmen with refined skills.
