Welcome to La Sorgente Cooperative!

The artisan workshops of the cooperative La Sorgente were established in 2018 within the day centers Orchidea and Myosotis to offer a work experience to people with disabilities. Over time, the staff organizing the workshops received guidance from numerous local artisans to identify the most suitable techniques for each participant’s individual characteristics. The products are unique, handmade pieces crafted from wood and clay, in keeping with the traditions of the Aosta Valley. The types of wood used include walnut, chestnut, Swiss pine, maple, linden, oak, and larch. Animals such as roosters or tatà shaped like horses, ibexes, and cows have, over the years, found a place at regional fairs alongside brightly colored ceramic tableware.
