Hello! Thank you for stopping by.

I am Roberta Pucci, atelierista and art therapist from Reggio Emilia, Italy.

I love dialoguing both with materials and people, and I think this is what my work mainly consists of.

 

Ever since I can remember, I have always been interested in the creative process. When I was a child, I liked to cut out figures from magazines, than I put them in a bag, randomly took some out and used them for inventing stories. This essential imprint is still there: I am constantly looking for new connections between things, materials and people.

 

My approach is nurtured by three main areas of my studying and professional background: the Reggio approach, Art Therapy and the design thinking of Bruno Munari. Interweaving these multifaceted knowledges, I design courses, workshops, books and creative tools to help each person or group expressing their unique potential, that naturally leads to a more active and authentic relationship with the environment and with others. 

 

From the early 2000s, I has held workshops and courses about the creative use of artistic, natural and recycled materials, especially for educators and teachers, collaborating with social cooperatives. Then I have spent seven years working as atelierista in a Reggio inspired preschool, in addition to one year at the Loris Malaguzzi Center of Reggio Emilia, with study groups from all over the world. 

I am currently working as an art educational consultant, atelierista and art therapist, for personal or professional growth. 

Would you like to start a journey together? Looking forward to meet you!
