A database-showcase of Sardinia’s artistic craftsmanship, Sardegna Artigianato offers an interesting insight on the island's lively contemporary craft scene.

The collection takes the form of a very neat and flexible multimedia archive. It is structured by materials and products and encompasses work of craft workshops operating with glass, wood, leather, baskets, ceramics, woven fabrics, metal, fabrics, cutlery, jewelry linking to the Archive for further details on materials and techniques.

The project presents stunning pictures by Pierluigi Dessì offering an interesting insight on the lively contemporary craft scene in the island.
