On Saturday, February 8, discover Venetian artisan workshops with a walk together with the photographers of IgersVenezia.<\/h2>\n

Veneziadavivere and IgersVenezia<\/strong> dedicate the usual Carnival Instameet<\/strong> to Venetian workshops to support the artisans of Venice.<\/p>\n

The appointment is at 10 AM at the Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista<\/strong>. We will begin with a true theatrical costume atelier: the Atelier Pietro Longhi<\/strong> will open our itinerary into the artistic heritage of the artisan tradition that tells the history and life of Venice. <\/p>\n

We will continue among carpentry workshops<\/strong> and treasures of paper, glass, and fabric<\/strong>, ending with antique photography<\/strong> and then heading towards the official inauguration of the Venice Carnival<\/strong> in Cannaregio.<\/p>\n

It will be a walk among photographers and the public to discover precious places of hidden Venice<\/strong> and meet Venetian artisans and creatives in person. At the end, an aperitif at Ca\u2019 Bonfadini<\/strong><\/a>, a new 5-star hotel that joined the city’s cultural scene last season, which will offer us a privileged viewpoint over the Cannaregio Canal. <\/p>\n

Participation is, as always, free of charge<\/strong> with registration at igersvenezia@gmail.com<\/a>.
\nIt will still be possible to support the workshops with a purchase during the walk.<\/p>\n

The walks will continue during the spring period with other appointments to discover the artisan realities of the city.<\/p>\n

10:00 AM
\nthe Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista presents Atelier Pietro Longhi<\/h3>\n

Atelier Pietro Longhi<\/a> is in Venice for Carnival at the Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista<\/a>, a place where Venetian culture and tradition for art, architecture, and beauty are expressed more than ever.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1261, the Scuola is a monumental complex with illustrious examples of Gothic<\/strong>, Renaissance<\/strong>, and Venetian Baroque<\/strong> art and architecture, where you can find works by artists such as Codussi, Massari, Morlaiter, Palma il Giovane, Tintoretto, and Longhi.<\/p>\n

Seat of the secular confraternity of the same name for over seven centuries, after the damage caused by the high water on Tuesday, November 12, 2019, the Scuola is once again open and active: a place of culture and a museum open to the public<\/strong> that hosts conferences, concerts, and cultural events.<\/p>\n

On Saturday we will meet Francesco Briggi<\/strong> and Raffaele Dess\u00ed<\/strong> and we will be able to try on historical clothing and accessories<\/strong> inspired by the paintings Briggi has seen in museums around the world, handcrafted masterpieces of high tailoring: Michelangelo, Raphael, Boucher, David, and Hogarth are the “stylists” from whom Briggi draws inspiration.<\/p>\n

Lunardelli Venezia<\/h3>\n

Immersed in the foundations of streets and palaces, wood supports Venice<\/strong>, marks the waterways in the lagoon, offers mooring for boats, and was the raw material for the great maritime vocation of the Serenissima.<\/p>\n

Ductile and alive, it is the ideal companion for the journey into design by Lunardelli Venezia<\/strong><\/a>, a historic company specialized in woodworking, which produces objects expressing the soul of Venice and the high quality of Italian craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

Historical expertise combines wood with other noble materials such as glass, while the tradition of high-quality craftsmanship is reinterpreted by the contemporary approach of designers and artisans<\/b> called to experiment with digital technologies and with a particular focus on sustainability.<\/p>\n

Paperoowl – paper objects and other wonders<\/h3>\n

“From the water you came, in the water you ended, despite the water you were reborn!”<\/em> If transforming paper into design objects and jewelry is the project of Stefania Giannici<\/strong>, creator of Paperoowl<\/strong><\/a>, one could only think that Stefania would not be stopped by the water.<\/p>\n

Stefania demonstrates her creativity with wonderful products, including those created with paper that ended up in the high tide<\/strong> of November 12. Gilded, hand-printed, marbled, and painted papers from all over the world, together with colors, folds, and details. Stefania skillfully shapes paper to create jewelry, decorations, home decor, and stationery<\/strong>: boxes, envelopes, notebooks, gift and furnishing items, up to the incredible paper pearl necklaces<\/strong>: beautiful, colorful or minimal, and light. <\/p>\n

This artisan workshop in Calle Longa in Santa Croce has created, with the florists of Bottega 2137<\/strong> and the Radical Fashion boutique Slash<\/b>, the Calle Longa District<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Barchette di Carta – when paper becomes art<\/h3>\n

Extraordinary manual skill and boundless imagination are the elements that make illustrator and designer Maria Mariano<\/strong> a unique artist, just as the creations in<\/b> paper and fabric<\/strong> by Barchetta di Carta<\/strong> are unique, an artisan workshop between Calle dei Boteri and Campo San Cassiano, in the heart of Rialto.<\/p>\n

Poetic fantastic animals, funny elves and goblins, unicorns, seagulls, and hens, castles and bell towers populate notebooks, diaries, and sketchbooks<\/strong> hand-sewn with fine papers, cases and purses, cloth dolls<\/strong> inspired by the world of fairy tales, home decorations, postcards, greeting cards, bags, and t-shirts.<\/p>\n

Sotoportego de Rialto – the new shopping street in Venice<\/h3>\n

The porticos of Rialto are the new street for refined shopping<\/strong> in Venice: boutiques, artisans, and ateliers<\/strong> have joined together to give a soul to the area that from the Middle Ages onwards was the luxury street of Venice<\/strong>, and now presents itself as the cultural experience of creative shopping<\/strong>: jewelry, fashion, design, and craftsmanship in the ancient street of the goldsmiths.<\/p>\n

The origin of the name, Sotoportego dei Oresi<\/strong>, derives from the presence of numerous goldsmith workshops of which traces are found as early as documents dated 1015. In March 1331, the resolution of the Great Council was approved, obliging the oresi<\/em> to trade, work, and sell gold exclusively in the Insula of Rialto. <\/p>\n

The frescoes of Ruga degli Oresi tell of the great work performed also by important artists such as Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese, who made Venice in the 16th century The Painted City<\/i>. Every shop, every artisan, had the vault above their business painted, giving it prestige and at the same time keeping the public building in good condition. <\/p>\n

L\u2019Artistica Gioielleria<\/h3>\n

Maia<\/strong> creates jewelry with precious and semi-precious stones, on gold and silver, also upon customer request, strings certified pearls<\/strong> and on the occasion of Venice Fashion Week<\/strong> showed how to drill a pearl<\/strong> and how to extract an opal<\/strong> from the raw stone. “I have combined true jewelry with my creations,” says Maia<\/strong>, creative of an upcycling jewelry<\/strong>: “I started by reinventing jewelry from broken necklaces, and gradually I had more and more Venetian customers.” <\/p>\n

Attombri<\/h3>\n

Since the late 1980s, Stefano and Daniele Attombri have been reinterpreting the history, techniques, and potential of Murano glass<\/strong> in a contemporary key, ranging between fashion and applied arts.<\/p>\n

Inside their atelier, they continue the entirely Venetian tradition of the perlere<\/strong> (pearl creators and stringers), expanding the potential of ancient knowledge with new techniques, of their exclusive creation, for the production of lamps, decorative and functional objects, and above all extraordinary jewelry.<\/p>\n

TABINOTABI<\/h3>\n

Fabrics made with fibers made of seaweed<\/strong>, mint, and with high-tech<\/strong> organic vegetable yarns<\/strong> with a closed-loop<\/strong> production cycle, without the release of chemical waste.<\/p>\n

In this innovative and ecological process, officially recognized as suitable for sustainable development<\/strong>, it firmly incorporates seaweed into a natural cellulose fiber<\/strong>. In doing so, the positive properties of the seaweed itself are permanently preserved within the fiber even after multiple washing cycles. <\/p>\n

Marina and Susanna Sent<\/h3>\n

Sisters Marina and Susanna Sent run a company in Murano<\/strong> specialized in the creation of glass jewelry<\/strong> and artistic objects<\/strong>: sculptures made with artisan techniques, from murrine glass to filigree, glass-fused plates, and glass fabric lamps.<\/p>\n

The specificity of Sent, which combines craftsmanship<\/strong> with the search for innovative solutions<\/strong>, emerges clearly in the creation of original glass jewelry, the result of a process of stylistic and technical renewal in traditional workmanship.<\/p>\n

Marina and Susanna’s creations are characterized by a constant search for structural<\/strong> and formal simplification<\/strong>, by a suspended modernity<\/strong> between the minimalism<\/strong> of transparent and ephemeral elements, and the imagination of colorful and lively elements.<\/p>\n
