Yo ung people are learning to dist il gin, bake, craft beer, and make shoes and hats with their own hands. Being an artisan is valuable again. Fashion houses are rediscovering the importance of careful craftsmanship, of pr oducts as well as experiences; they are hiring and training a new breed of craf tsman. Technology has opened a new, glob al market to makers prepa red to share their knowledge and art with the world. And nowhere is craftsmanship as deeply engrained in the civic fabric and tradition as it is in Florence. The art of producing handmade goods has been passed down here from one generation of artisans to another for centuries. Today, traditional workshops in the Oltrarno neighbourhood attract tourists and connoisseurs from all over the world. But where will Flo rence forge the next generation of maker s? “I HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED WITH THE URGENCY OF DOING. KNOWING IS NOT ENOUGH; WE MUST APPLY.

Be inspired by others, learn from them. Give them encouragement, advice, resources. Be exhilarated by the new things that happen around you. 02 WORK THEORY AND PRACTICE Like in a Renaissance workshop, creativity can never be far from practice, art from handicrafts, fashion from cutting and sewing. An architect must understand bricks, wood and concrete. The art of making – unique objects crafted by hand – is fundamental again in a world of standards, mass produced items and disposable cutlery. Invent, create, make... and then invent again. 03 ENJOY WORK AND UNWIND Work hard when you need to, relax when you can. Eat, think, drink – learn something, visit an exhibition, listen to a lecture. Boundaries between work life and private life are blurring. The Factory provides spaces for focusing and getting work done, and others for meeting, resting, and enjoying a meal and more with friends.
