Artisan Workshops of Tuscany {Florence + Pistoia + Foiana della Chiana + Cortona}

On my recent trip to Tuscany for the Play Your Tuscany project we visited dozens of artisans workshops. Some are easily accessible and welcome visitors (and shoppers) and some are are hidden away behind locked doors.

I was fascinated by the hands that create intricate jewelry, sturdy tables, finely crafted leather shoes and musical instruments. I was also taken by the tools used to create these objects. 

Here a few images from the artisan workshops of Tuscany.
