Sicilian Handicraft

WE DESIGN TOURS FOR HANDICRAFT LOVERS

Since more than three thousand years Sicily has a tradition of handcraft and art products. Sicilians live surrounded by colours and have a specific artistic way of making things even when grocers and fishmongers display their food on a market stall. From prestigious coral jewellery and fine majolica to colourful rugs, embroidery, theatre puppets, musical instruments, Byzantine icons, straw bags and baskets, from pottery for daily uses to carved olive wood, lava stone and wrought iron, handcraft traditions survive especially in small towns and villages.
We select some of the best workshops all over the island where it is possible to experience the daily work, meet the artisans and find unique artefacts.
We can tailor-make for you a beautiful itinerary if you want to discover this magic side of Sicily, go for an unusual “shopping tour” or find some piece of furniture that can fit in your home.
 
All our suggestions can be adapted and customised according to your wishes and expectations. To receive more info please use our form or send us an email to info@paesaggiosicilia.com
Our suggestions are based on the idea of slow travelling. We do not want to offer quick visits but rather experiences that can be enjoyed with no hurry.
The workshops that we visit during our tours do not work primarily with tourists so every excursion has to be confirmed with the providers and needs to fit in their daily work schedules. Some activities and itineraries can vary according to season and weather conditions.
