Launched by Laura Borghi in 2011, Fondazione Officine Saffi is a nonprofit dedicated to exploring the world of ceramics from every angle. We love pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with clay today while still honoring its rich history. By bringing together art, craft, and design, we host a vibrant community through our exhibitions, workshops, and books. For us, ceramics is more than just a material—it’s a powerful tool for social and cultural change.

We’ve created an open, welcoming space where artists and visitors alike can think about life’s big questions.

From connections with one another to relationships with the natural world, they use programs to spark new ideas and build excitement for ceramics in the 21st century.
