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.

I work mainly with paper because of its delicacy and versatility.
Its soft texture allows the colours to blend and glide gently over any subject, whether abstract or naturalistic.
I let my dream world and nature inspire me.
After graduating from art school in Sion in 1985, I never stopped creating and experimenting, exploring different painting and sculptural techniques.
With love, aesthetic sense and passion, I continue to develop works that reflect my artistic journey.
Handcrafted creations of necklaces, bracelets, pendants, earrings with precious and semi-precious stones, mounted on silver.
Repairs or new creative additions are made to old necklaces or bracelets.
Monteggio, in the middle of the Tresa Valley, is home to the vineyards and cellars of hubervini, a family-run winery.
The cellars are located inside a restored 17th century typical Malcantone house, in which the family lives.
The winery is managed today by the second generation, Jonas and Sara Huber, who together with their employees work 7.5 hectares of vineyards - consisting almost entirely of south-facing slopes at an altitude of 300-450 m above sea level - for an annual production of around 27,000 bottles. The Huber family personally takes care of the entire production cycle, from the grapes to marketing, thus maintaining a direct link with their customers.
For over 40 years, hubervini has been present in the area in a constant search for the best quality in a balance between tradition and innovation, now favouring organic cultivation for quality products that respect nature.

I am Barbara van der Voet and I have lived in Vezio, Altomalcantone, for 24 years.
My love and interest in nature and its healing plants have led me, through constant study and research, to develop a line of simple and natural body care products.
I use a few genuine and effective, 100% natural ingredients.
I grow the plants myself, such as Marigold, Rosemary, Hypericum, Lavender, etc., which I work with due care to offer a quality product.
Christian Demarta, still being laid in a wicker basket on the quiet banks of the Verbano.
Due to his natural inclination to go against the tide, he travelled up the Ticino River to the turreted capital city of Bellinzona, where he attended the city's high school and graduated from high school. He then enrolled at the CSIA, learned the trade of graphic designer/illustrator and set up his own studio in the charming village of Sementina.
It has not yet been ascertained whether this is entirely to his credit or whether the village was already laughing before Demarta settled there.
He collaborated with the satirical magazine 'Il Diavolo', among other things giving birth to the couple Gonzo and Stono, whose adventures were collected in a volume with the surprising title 'The Adventures of Gonzo and Stono'.
