A course by Clara Arpini
Clara Arpini is a designer and artisan originally from a small town near Milan. Raised in a creative family, Clara worked for many years in the restaurant business, until she accidentally discovered her passion for the world of straw-weaving and weaving while observing an old grandmother's sitting.

Thus he began to receive commissions from private individuals and to collaborate with designers, architects, fairs and events. Today it has its own brand, Nodo, which provides modern or traditional straw-making services and which also offers furnishing accessories.
