Arts and Handicrafts photogallery

Take part to our workshops to experience the way of creating typical Sicilian handicrafts.
Baskets made from olive branches, fruit shapes molded from  marzipan,  Sicilian puppets carved from a piece of beech or lemon wood, clay harvested from the earth and dried in the hot Sicilian sun,  before being baked and painted: this and much more you can see and learn in our workshops!
We may visit artisans in their laboratories, sometimes in their houses as well, where tradition has been handed down from generation to generation from time immemorial, and pieces of Art are made with the same patience and using the same old handmade tools as those of centuries ago.
