Elsata began in 2008 as Maria Pia Sanoner's personal project to channel her art. It started in a small workshop where she handpainted ceramic pieces. It grew year after year, and as she couldn´t find the designs or pieces she wanted to paint. She began searching for ceramic workshops that could bring her designs to life. In 2011, she took on a bigger challenge, assembling a team to handle all the stages involved in designing everyday art pieces. The new Elsata workshop includes all the production facilities, design, molding tooling, slip casting, glazing and painting, all done by hand. Elsata grew with a team of excellent people, creative and willing to innovate in every area.
