How many things do your hands do every day?
How many movements have they learned?
How many gestures have they perfected?
Art Factory Monterosso
Welcome to the workshop of Fabbrica d'Arte Monterosso, a magical place where ceramics come to life through the skilled hands dedicated to crafting and decorating since 1982.
Located just outside Monterosso, in the wonderful Cinque Terre, our workshop has become a reference point for lovers of art and craftsmanship.
In our workshop, hands intertwine every day, creating a special bond between five close-knit souls. Each pair of hands represents a unique story, an intersection of passions and talents that gave life to a magical place: the Monterosso Art Factory.
Milla and Franz, the founders of this enchanting place, opened the factory doors almost four decades ago, unleashing their creativity after attending a ceramics course. Their passion guided them towards realizing a dream, bringing to life a place where art and craftsmanship merge in a symphony of shapes and colors.
But the story of this factory does not end here. Jenny and Diego, driven by the same creative flame, joined Milla and Franz on a journey full of discoveries and love for ceramics. Their hands have learned to skillfully shape clay, giving life to unique and moving works of art.
And then there is Adele, the daughter of Milla and Diego, who grew up with her hands in the warmth of this workshop.
Since she was little, she has breathed the magical atmosphere of the Fabbrica d'Arte Monterosso, learning from her parents and absorbing the beauty hidden behind every work of art.
La Fabbrica d'Arte Monterosso is much more than just a workshop: it is a place where the sea and the mountains meet, where the waves bring inspiration and the breeze wraps the creations with a touch of magic.
Here, art becomes a way to express deep emotions, to tell stories and to connect people through beauty.
Every day, the five pairs of hands that come together in this special place transform clay into masterpieces that speak directly to the heart.
It is a place where art blends with life itself, where passion and dedication mix with the beauty of the surrounding nature.
If you come to visit us at the Monterosso Art Factory, you will be welcomed by an atmosphere full of emotions, intertwined stories, and works of art that touch the soul.
Here, hands become tools of creation and transformation, and every piece made is a tribute to the love for art and the beauty that surrounds us.
