Ciao Gaetano!

Welcome, I’m Gaetano, a glass-powder artist born from experimentation, mistakes, and discovery. I entered the world of craftsmanship later in life. It all began when I couldn’t find anyone able to create the stained-glass pieces I imagined, so I decided to try making them myself. I built every corner of my workshop with my own hands, turning that effort into my first true experiment. My works often begin with the reuse of old materials, driven by a desire to transform and give new life to forgotten things. I invite you into my little world, where every creation expresses a fragment of passion, creativity, patience, and wonder.
