Young Maltese artisan Christian Muscat showcased his macramé products at the Artigianato e Palazzo in Florence, after his application – submitted with the support of the Malta Crafts Foundation – was among the select few that were chosen by a panel of experts from Blogs & Crafts Europe to participate in this event.

Christian, who has been learning his craft from local artisan Alda Bugeja, had the opportunity to participate in various workshops and training sessions, as well as having a number of bloggers write about his talent – all provided by the organizers with the aim of helping young artisans grow their business and enhance the sustainability of their craft.
