We are nomads, we are alchemists, we are curious and we are a family.

On our journey we encounter matter that we transform and elaborate with our creativity.

We are Simona,Michele and Maddi each with our own talents and ideas. Together we bring to the alchemist the creative power to unite dream with reality.

We believe that the choice of an object is not random, but is the result of a meeting of complementary, similar or opposite energies to create its own balance.

John Gilgen, born on 25 January 1970.
He started painting in January 1992, in '93 he began modelling with clay, pursuing the two disciplines in parallel.

In '92, he attended the stage design school in Geneva where he met people who would lead him to understand his steps in the field of art.

He later produced simultaneous oil on canvas drawings for theatre sets.
The works were purchased from small galleries in Ticino and French-speaking Switzerland.

My name is Matteo and I have been lucky enough to spend every summer in the midst of nature in Malcantone.

Plants and flowers have always fascinated me; their beauty and the various uses our grandparents made of them have always fascinated me. I was thus able to realise that natural remedies were simple but effective.

I therefore decided to explore this topic further by starting to make natural products using what nature provides.

I am Woodrow Harris, known artistically as Woody.

Originally from the UK, I have lived in Ticino with my wife for almost thirty years. My background is in technology, specialising in automation, but I am now enjoying retirement.
For about a decade now, I have been passionately dedicated to woodworking, particularly woodturning, which I practice at an amateur level in my cosy workshop in Iseo.

After attending various workshops on modelling techniques, glaze preparation and firing methods, I specialised in the art of the potter's wheel for a couple of years in the 1990s by attending the atelier of ceramist Ueli Wengen.

The practice of ceramics became more and more intense over the years, so much so that I decided to buy a potter's wheel and kiln and make it my profession.

In my workshop I am constantly experimenting with new forms on the lathe or modelling them by hand, often using stoneware, which I prefer for its hardness and stony appearance.
New glazes, new firing methods (Raku, wood firing) and special surface preparations make this profession for me a true passion that moves and changes at the pace of new discoveries.

My passion for ecology and respect for nature are part of my principles, which have a profound influence on my production, which relies on natural and, within the realm of possibility, organic ingredients.

The working method is old-fashioned and simple: it starts with the search for seasonal fruit (taken from the garden of acquaintances or farmers in the Malcantonese area), organic cane sugar is added, and finally a touch of 'sixth sense' for bold and curious creations.
