Mtm Oct21 22

Our events bring together artisans, professionals, and enthusiasts who share a passion for craftsmanship and Venetian heritage. Through talks, presentations, and exhibitions, we explore the significance of handmade work done with care, and the close-tied relationship between masters and materials.

From our Meet the Makers series—where master artisans dialogue with the world of design—to the In the Making exhibition, which unveils the beauty of the creative process, each event offers the opportunity to deepen knowledge, gain new perspectives, and envision the future of Venetian craftsmanship.
