Is it a painting? Is it a sculpture? Well… why not both?

For the final Meet the Artisans session of the season, we will be meeting Antonio Mifsud to discover his distinctive approach to clay modelling, where the boundaries between sculpture and painting begin to blur.

Antonio works with clay to build forms and textures directly onto canvas, before bringing them to life with colour to create striking three-dimensional artworks. During the session, participants will get a closer look at his creative process and discover how a familiar material can take on a completely different dimension.

The session will be held on Sunday, September 27th, between 10:00h and 12:00h, at his workshop in Mosta.

The Malta Crafts Foundation participated in the General Assembly of the European Route of Ceramics, held in Faenza, Italy, bringing together members of the network to discuss its continued growth, upcoming initiatives, and plans for 2027 including the upcoming 40th anniversary of the Cultural Routes programme.

Represented by CEO Elton Micallef, the Foundation also took part in Café Europa // Ceramics Café & Cultural Routes, an exchange between different Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe, and attended the opening of Creative Clays – Ceramic Connections across UNESCO Creative Cities. The programme also included Argillà Italia 2026, with visits to ceramic exhibitions and its international ceramic market.

A member of the European Route of Ceramics since 2023, the Malta Crafts Foundation continues to use the network to strengthen international connections and create opportunities for Malta’s artisan sector to exchange knowledge, collaborate, and gain greater visibility across Europe.

For our latest Meet the Artisans session, we explored the traditional craft of stone carving with sculptor Joseph Micallef at our premises within the Ta' Qali Artisan Village.

During the session, Joseph introduced participants to the tools and techniques used to work with stone, sharing insights into the patience, precision, and experience required to transform a solid block of this enduring material into a work of art.

Participants gained a closer appreciation of the craft and the skill involved in bringing form and character out of stone, one careful stroke at a time.

From selecting the right stone to working with its natural characteristics, Joseph will share some of the techniques, tools, and patience required to shape this enduring material, offering an insight into a craft deeply rooted in Malta's artistic and architectural heritage.

The session will be held on Sunday, August 30th, between 10:00h and 12:00h, at our premises within the Ta' Qali Artisan Village.

This is exactly why the Malta Crafts Foundation exists.

Behind every international feature, exhibition, collaboration, or opportunity is the work of talented Maltese artisans whose skills deserve to be seen by the world.

We are proud to have facilitated this connection with the team behind Richard E. Grant's Very Modern Odyssey, allowing another authentic Maltese craft to reach an international audience.

Creating opportunities, building connections, and promoting Malta's craft heritage locally and abroad remain at the heart of our mission.

Well done to the artisans for representing Malta with such passion and authenticity—we are proud to support your journey.
