How do you reconcile your work with the new needs and trends of the market?
In a globalised world, consumers are becoming increasingly sensitive to personalised, unique and non-replicable products. Perhaps more than in the past.
Which types of clients do you target?
We have a private clientele as well as shops that work in a close relationship with their customers. We deal with both local and international clients.
Do you think that young people are fascinated and inspired by your profession?
Probably the economic crisis has helped the young understand that there are many self-employed work opportunities in the crafts, which are only waiting to be discovered and promoted. The problem is that most young people expect to be successful immediately; in this trade, what really counts is experience, which takes time to build it.
During the European Artistic Crafts Days, your workshop participates in the open days of the “Cinque Vie” district in Milan. Are you planning anything special for the event?
We will carry on our activities as usual, and visitors to our workshop will have the opportunity see how we make our handmade dinnerware.
