Manualism

Manualism is an Italian social-benefit company creating hands-on experiences in the workshops of skilled artisans. Its workshops offer a practical way to step away from abstract, screen-based work and learn by making something tangible. Experiences are planned as one-day sessions or weekend formats, bringing small groups together to try a craft alongside a professional in a real working studio.

Participants will be able to choose an experience, then select a date and location from options offered by different artisans. Tools, materials, insurance and safety arrangements are included, so guests can focus on learning and making. Groups are limited to eight people, allowing the craftsperson to guide each participant. If a group does not fill, Manualism says it will issue a full refund.

The company is currently planning its first experiences and invites interested people to sign up for launch notifications. Manualism also publishes a Substack magazine exploring work, productivity, artificial intelligence and the relationship between knowledge and hands-on skills.
