Schools of Craft and Design in Florence: Where Tradition, Innovation & Local Makers Meet
Florence is not just a city of museums but a living studio where craft traditions thrive. From jewelry workshops near Ponte Vecchio to leather schools in Santa Croce, from ceramics in Montelupo to fashion at Polimoda, artisans and students alike shape the city’s creative future. At FlorenceFactory, we collaborate with these makers—many of whom chose Florence as their home—to offer design that is both deeply rooted and refreshingly contemporary.
