    MARTINA OLIVERO

    Hello! My name is Martina and I'm an artisan and naturalist.

    In my laboratory, I create macramé lace and stone jewelry inspired by the nature that surrounds me: there's no place that hasn't sparked the idea for a necklace or a ring, strange but true!

    I have a true mantra that I apply from choosing which vegetables to cook to the jewelry I create: it's better to do a few things well than many things haphazardly. That's why I do what I do: I want to restore the rightful value to things that have slowly lost it.

        LAURA DELL'ERBA
        My art is collaborating with Nature. I create textile objects exclusively with natural fibres. I like working with my hands and with what Nature offers: mine are unique and unrepeatable pieces, because they are the result of seasonal, occasional encounters between fibers and plants. Each piece, thread, fabric, dress, tapestry, is dyed only with natural colors, thanks to techniques such as ecoprint or botanical printing, Shibori, vegetable inks, indigo. I also deal with spinning with the spindle and the wheel and the symbolic meanings linked to these activities, the dyeing plants and the colors obtained from them.

            Nene

            Nene (he/they - "lui" in Italian) has always been a creative and art-loving individual. Through various passions such as cinema, comics, tabletop and role-playing games, and cosplay, he learns tailoring and pattern-making, and soon develop a fascination for textile arts: knitting, crocheting, weaving, and modern embroidery. In the latter, he discovers a powerful means of communication, a way to relax and detach from everyday life, and an engaging and connected community. In December 2020, he gives a name to this project, "neneedle," combining "nene" and "needle," as needle in English. 

            His favorite subjects to depict are connected to the natural world: animals, leaves, fruits, and vegetables, which share values and themes that reflect the core principles of neneedle: environmental awareness, recycling, sustainability; queerness, bodily expression, and free expression of art, the LGBTQ+ community, pride in being oneself; and creativity, art and passion for beauty.

              Simone Villa

              I'm Simone Villa, designer and crafter, behind the Riot brand.
              I identify myself as a craftsman not so much for the work I do but, above all, for the way I experience the things that interest me. I find essential to test my intuitions and understand how a process works, to innovate it, making it personal and unique.
              Through knitting, sewing, embroidery and textile art, I represent my subversive and nonconformist vision, also trying to stimulate curiosity and fight for inclusiveness

                Hi, I'm Stefano and I started this project in 2019 with the idea of creating something unique and outside the box. Over time, I discovered tufting, an artisanal technique that immediately fascinated me and which I decided to integrate into my work. Through my courses, I want to convey the value of creating with your own hands, an experience that goes beyond the final object. It is a moment of pure creativity, a special memory that remains over time and represents something authentic and personal.

                  Maria Cristina Casiraghi
                  Hi, I'm Cri. They are the hands and mind of "the cat in the skein", a brand born from the union of my two great passions, cats and balls of yarn. I discovered amigurumi at a complicated moment in my life; over time, what initially began as a simple therapeutic pastime became a true love. My hands are always at work and my mind is constantly buzzing. I am an amigurumi designer, I design my own patterns and create my subjects with quality materials. I'll wait for you at my courses where I will introduce you to the amigurumi technique. With me by your side, you will be amazed at how magical it is to bring a puppet to life with just two things, a ball of yarn and a crochet hook. ha il menu contestuale

                    I select shirts, but not only, usedsample or vintage; I transform them to make them more contemporary and embroidery by hand.

                    The subjects of embroidery often come from the past, especially medieval and Renaissance. Medieval bestiaries, ancient botany, books on heraldry and Renaissance allegories and the inevitable travel companion, Dante’s Commedia.

                      Claudia de Dominicis sarà presente in fiera giovedì e venerdì

                      My name is Claudia and I am a creative! At 30 I left a permanent job to love life more. With my backpack and a #9 crochet hook I traveled to Patagonia, where I discovered a wonderful wool tradition. LazyHat was born there: I created and gave hats to anyone I met along the way. 

                      Upon returning to Italy I began to become interested in the enormous waste of the textile industry. I thus created the Natura Collection (only with natural yarns) and the Atacama Collection (which I recover from textile overproduction).

                      I always try to modernize this ancient art, taught to me by my mother, creating schemes that make the most of each face. What I learned from crochet is that the more you make mistakes, the more you learn. So, to you who want to trust and be guided by me, I hope you make mistakes, because mistakes are what really allow you to grow and I will be here to support you
