Fine crafts, eco design, tradition and innovation, old materials and experimental techniques in this list of workshops and laboratories of excellence in Salento<\/h3>\n

Salento has a tradition of fine craftsmanship that starts from local stone and paper mache and passes through the ceramic pottery, wood and, above all, different experimental materials.<\/p>\n

The use of natural raw materials, such as plant’s fiber or the reuse of old objects transformed into modern design is part of the artistic and local artisan fervor.<\/p>\n

It is not always easy, however, to find some of the most innovative labs of\u00a0artists since they are often work in quiet environments, mostly surrounded by nature.
\nSo today we want to make you discover some aterlier and fine craft workshops, where you can admire, buy and know the artisan poetics of Salento.<\/p>\n

“Modern archaeologists, rediscovering the art of the past.”
\nWith these words, a professor of the \u00a0Academy of Brera called out the sculptural art of Art Studio Margarito, by Margarito Brothers, in Montesano Salentino, a town 47 km away from Lecce, on the road that leads to Santa Maria di Leuca.
\nNo plaster model is the basis of any stone unique sculptures made here; they can be born from an infinite number of previous ideas or by a sketch on paper made by a customer.
\nAs befits the artists, as well as the artisans, every idea becomes a starting point and inspiration for a concept that becomes an unrepeatable work.
\nWonderful stone fountains, fireplaces with bas-reliefs, statues, objects and sacred art in which the stone is shaped by taking an ancient, evocative form of a timeless classic. http:\/\/www.artstudio-margarito.it<\/a><\/p>\n

Design and sculpture. The life of the raw material before the functionality of the object. <\/strong> \u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n
