Hand-Woven Fabrics

  • This cotton tulle veil, typical of the traditional Sarrabus attire, features a complex hand-made clable stitch embroidery inspired by raditional motifs, available as an accessory for brides and cerimonies.

  • This fine silk scarf is painted with vibrant brushstrokes in an evocative striped composition of watercolours in unpredictable juxtapositions of shaded colours and bright tones.

  • The life cycle motif is shown in different variations of style in the four jute tapestries made through the creative use of scraps of velvet, cotton, fustian and orbace.

  • This large spectacular shawl draws on the local tradition in the recognisable choice of damask fabric with large lace patterns and black flowers on a purple background, finely finished with a long macramé knotted fringe in two colours.

  • This decorative good-luck panel is hand-made with a mixed technique. The background is made of raw linen woven on a traditional loom, with the relief a pibiones technique. Hand-painted with a motif typical of Selargius weddings, sa coia antiga, and a Tree of Life.

Il settore

The handicraft production based on the valorisation of textiles is robust, distinctive and successful, connected to the use of traditional weaves featuring beautiful embroideries or decorative and pictorial elements.
Aimed at crafting functional and decorative artefacts to be exhibited and worn, it reinterprets tradition with impressive stylistic solutions, evocative and contemporary at the same time. Traditional themes and symbols intertwine and are investigated and explored.
 
Precious fabrics transform, traditional forms acquire new functions, embroidery techniques open up to new possibilities, turning into workshop-specific crafting techniques and distinctive features. The result is a production of unique and charismatic objects, one's privilege to possess.
