CERAMIST & artist
ELISABETTA MENICANTI
I’m Elisabetta,
A ceramist and artist with 40 years of experience.
Since childhood, I have felt a deep connection with art, which I have further nurtured by training with artists in the ceramics and decoration field, producing furnishing objects and exhibition sculptures, and imparting my knowledge in professional and art high schools.
However, my artistry extends beyond ceramics. Through drawing, I have found a new way to express my creativity, putting my artistic vision at the service of brands that have chosen to work with me.
Since November 2023, I have open my own ceramic workshop, but I also dream of continuing to collaborate with companies that knows how to valorize craftsmanship and Made in Italy concept, bringing my professionalism and passion to their projects.
My experience encompasses every phase of the artistic, chemical, and technical process of a project, including: design, modeling, mold-making, and decoration using techniques such as engobe, underglaze, and overglaze (majolica), as well as the third firing.

My experience enables me to translate innovative ideas into concrete and impactful solutions. With my passion for art and design, I have a knack for capturing the subtle nuances and transforming them into distinctive elements that imbue personality and coherence into the brand. My goal is always to exceed client expectations by providing them with tailored services that align with their ambitions and help to differentiate yourself in the market field .
Amaro Averna
For the Amaro Averna - Open Sicily commercial, I created majolica tiles.
The commercial, much like the famous liqueur, celebrates Sicily and the traditions of our peninsula. Therefore, I endeavored to convey the same feelings in my ceramics, with their geometric shapes and the representation of the Trinacria, the unmistakable symbol of Sicily.
Rudy Profumi S.r.l.
In 2021, I started collaborating with Rudy Profumi S.r.l. to design and create artwork for the packaging of their products.
Each product evokes the distinctive scents of various iconic Italian locations, while the designs capture the essence of Italy through the art of majolica. Initially developed on paper, the designs were then transferred onto ceramic to faithfully recreate the effect of traditional majolica, with intricate details and vibrant colors. Finally, in collaboration with a graphic designer, they were adapted for the packaging, ensuring a final result that merges traditional Italian art with modern elegance.
Le Bois Du Mont Blanc
For the collaboration with Le Bois du Mont Blanc, I hand-painted decorations on wooden home furnishings inspired by the local wildlife. Every detail was meticulously crafted, bringing to life pieces that embody the enchantment and charm of the mountains.
