The hands behind the magick

Behind every object, there is a pair of hands.

My name is Michelangelo, and I am the artisan behind The Little Sorcerer.

From my workshop in Sardinia, Italy, I create objects inspired by the ancient language of symbols, pagan traditions, witchcraft, divination and the mysterious relationship humanity has always had with the unseen.

Wood, thread, paper and other materials are my raw elements. Every creation is designed, tested, assembled and finished as part of a small, personal craft process rather than an anonymous production line.

Wood, thread, paper and imagination.
Imagination is the fifth element.

I design, experiment, cut, engrave, embroider, assemble and finish. Sometimes I start all over again because an idea that looked perfect in my head has decided to behave very differently once it became real.

That is part of being an artisan.

The Little Sorcerer

Not a factory.
A workshop.

The Little Sorcerer is a place where old symbols meet modern tools, where wood can become an instrument of divination and where embroidery can turn a simple piece of fabric into something carrying a story, an archetype or a little piece of magick.

Some creations are born from my own imagination. Others begin with a message from someone on the other side of the world who has an idea and wonders whether it can be made real.

Dangerous words to say to an artisan
“Michelangelo, I have an idea. Do you think you can make it?” The answer is very often: “Let's try.”

Ouija boards, planchettes, Futhark and Ogham runes, Wheels of the Year, ritual tools, embroidered patches, Voodoo dolls and handmade blank Books of Shadows all begin in the same place: with an idea waiting to become tangible.

01
The ideaA symbol, a story, a customer request or one of those ideas that refuses to leave my head.
02
The materialWood, thread, fabric, paper and the materials that best suit the object being created.
03
The makingCutting, laser engraving, embroidery, assembly, finishing and all the small decisions that make the piece personal.
04
Your creationA finished object made by hand, ready to begin a story that is no longer mine.
Change a symbol.
Choose another colour.
Ask for a different engraving.
Tell me the story behind what you are looking for.
You bring the idea. I bring the tools.

Made for you

Personalization is part of the soul of the workshop.

I do not want every creation to feel as though it simply came from a shelf. Whenever the object allows it, I want you to have the possibility to make it yours.

Sometimes that means a name, a symbol or a different colour. Sometimes it means creating an object that did not exist before the conversation started.

The most interesting commissions often begin exactly this way: you bring the idea, I bring the tools, and somewhere between the two something new appears.

Welcome to The Little Sorcerer

The workshop door is open.

Years of making, experimenting and sending handcrafted creations from Sardinia to people around the world have never changed the principle behind The Little Sorcerer.

Make things slowly.
Make them personally.
Make things I would be proud to put my name on.

Things made for people who still believe an object can mean more than the material from which it was made.
