Palermo


This quirky gallery-store stocks idiosyncratic works created by numerous local artists and artisans. You'll find photographic images of Palermo transferred onto aluminium, plexiglass, plaster, wood and brick, hand-painted terracotta plates, jewellery, raku pottery, even fridge magnets inspired by majolica tiles. Indeed, you might even stumble across a woven basket made from recycled brochures or a small bag made from neckties.
