The Small Guide dedicated to the artisans of the Val di Cornia and the Etruscan Coast is finally out! You can view it as a PDF to consult, download, and/or print at this link:
We thank you for all the suggestions we have received in recent weeks; it is thanks to everyone's work that we have been able to put together this material. We are sure that it is not an exhaustive guide; we have prioritized artisans for whom we found at least one website and an Instagram profile, so as to be more easily found by anyone interested.
This, instead, is the small selection we made for the release of the November Small Guide, made exclusively by looking for variety in the materials used.
- Weaving – Macramemi
Noemi Brunelli creates custom furnishings and decor using the macramé technique. - Shoes – Quel Pellaio di Diego
Diego Daddi was born, lives, and works in the medieval village of Suvereto. Artisanal work is created in a small, manually operated production workshop. Shoes, bags, medieval and modern boots. - Wood – Centro Restauro
Alessio and Yuri Nobili, brothers, design custom furniture and restore wood. On their website, you will also find creations that can be ordered directly. - Resin – FluidoLab
Tania Abatiello, a Florentine artist, was inspired by the call of the sea when she moved to the Gulf of Baratti. Epoxy resin, a crystalline and fluid material like water, makes decorative and home objects unique. - Recycling – Wind Little Bags
Federica creates accessories and objects (Bags, Scarves, Bedspreads, Poufs) exclusively by hand using recycled materials. - Paper – Arualdem
Who said paper isn't precious? For centuries, it has collected our written and photographed memories, our stories... A myriad of papers processed through various weaving techniques and origami folds to create sculptural design starting from ancestral forms to reach complex architectures. - Toys – Tuscan Toys
Jane and Alan Stewart create wooden toys, all with natural movement. - Plant Prints – Foglie d’Etruria
Handcrafted items made using natural and recycled raw materials, ecological processing methods, and above all, flowers, leaves, roots, and bark from the Etruscan Coast.
The Small Guides are conceived, created, and curated by Diana Castelfranco and myself, Bruna Carvalho. To stay updated, follow our Instagram profiles @lacasanelcastello and @lagualdavecchia.
