Handicraft in Ticino

Little treasures made by hand

Existing since the dawn of time, craftsmanship is a practice that involves the handcrafting of different materials. The result? Real artworks of ceramics, wood, wool, ... or clothes, jewellery, decorative accessories, gifts! These are unique and authentic creations, which can reflect the soul and traditions of the region from which they come.
