Homo Faber Fellowship

A long overdue post about the return of the very talented to our workshop as part of the Homo Faber Fellowship a program run by the Michelangelo Foundation.

This unique 7 month experience pairs up master artisans with emerging talents in craft. This year featured 23 duos from a wide range of craft disciplines.

For the last 6 months Michal has been involved in a variety of the work we do from forging to restoration to machining and fabricating. He's also had the opportunity to make himself some nice tools ! We're very sorry to see him leave but sure he'll be going on to bigger and better things.

During his time working with us we have also produced a collaborative piece which will be unveiled at the Salone del Mobile in Milan next week. For now here's a sneak peak.

The Fellowship is presented by in partnership with and local members of the Michelangelo Foundation’s international network: .nowerzemioslo together with academic partners and
