This digital archive allows you to gain visibility at a European level, share your story and your passion, discover other talented artisans and crafts, and contribute to the protection of traditional and unique crafts that are at risk of disappearing. It’s a vehicle for senior artisans to start the process of building their digital presence through storytelling, thus ensuring a testimony of their expertise and giving an insight into their biography, with the potential of attracting a new client base with a taste for quality.
