With an artisan background and spirit, Katia has long wandered through various courses and professional trainings: from dressmaking (and velvet embroidery) to sculpture and wood and clay carving, driven by the desire to create freely without rigid patterns.
Since 1999, she has taken part in the Sant’Orso Fair, where interaction with the public continues to inspire the evolution of her creations. Her experiences in international fashion-related fairs have also encouraged her to broaden her horizons.
For over twenty-five years, however, it is Aosta Valley craftsmanship that has been Katia’s main source of inspiration: she creates sculptures but above all tatà (wooden and ceramic toys) and home décor items inspired by the local fauna and flora, combining different techniques, materials and colours. More recently, she has also created a line of natural walnut jewellery, “because even wood scraps are too precious to be thrown away”, as she likes to say.
