The Maker’s Hand
Art and Artisanship
A full day excursion that explores Florence and its age-old tradition of crafting excellence in
art, artisanship, and cuisine.
Introduction
For the better part of a decade, we have worked with our collective of Master Artisans to craft custom artisanal heirlooms for our community of patrons in the United States and around the world. While our patrons have had the opportunity to admire the results of our artisans’ handiwork, we wanted to share more.
The Master’s Hand: Art and Artisanship is a curated experience that lifts the veil on the cultural, historical, and artistic influences that inspired the Florentine’s pursuit of excellence in art, artisanship and cuisine over the course of centuries.
In a focused, approachable, and inspiring full-day excursion, we guide our guests along the invisible pathways that connect Florence’s hidden artisanal workshops to its world-renowned museums, and lush and bountiful countryside.
The experience begins with a privately guided tour of a purposefully selected museum followed by an immersive visit of an artisan’s workshop. During their workshop visit, guests witness the history they learned about during their museum tour come to life before their eyes: pieces of jewelry are cast and engraved, and micromosaics are composed according to methods consistent with those used to craft antique museum masterpieces.
Following a traditional Florentine lunch, a private driver will accompany our guests and their guide to the heart of Tuscany’s Chianti region where they will visit a characteristic vineyard and enjoy a full wine tasting.
