Fabbrica d’Arte

At Fabbrica d’Arte, since 1982, our hands have been involved in the artisan claying and decoration of ceramics. The workshop is located in the hills just outside Monterosso, in the Cinque Terre. Ours are hands that, in almost 40 years of activity, have perfected every gesture, experimented, and made mistakes. As well as discoveries this is why today we can offer you unique pieces with their own authentic personality. Fabbrica d’Arte Monterosso is a project, an idea, a dream that takes shape every day. It is art, craftsmanship, dedication.

All the creations we make in our laboratory are modeled and decorated entirely by hand. With clays and glazes whose formula we have studied ourselves. This means that there is not a single piece like the other. By visiting our shops in Monterosso you can take home something truly unique and authentic.

Craftsmanships creativity: it is to pull out and form a meaning from a raw material. Our hands knead, shape, smooth, and color to create individual compositions that tell the story of the Cinque Terre through characteristic forms. Ours are original works, handmade one by one, which tell the identity of a territory. From the unmistakable «casotte» houses of the Cinque Terre to the sculptures that recall the anchovies and other fish that populate the sea in the area. Without neglecting the elegant evergreen pieces which can enrich your table. If you like sincere, simple but not “run of the mill” things, you can take away with you an authentic piece of local craftmanship from Cinque Terre.
