The shop also sells raw materials for making paints, glue and gelatin for gesso and gilding, gum arabic, resins, oils, and metallic powders. Venetian-made items like glass beads, leather aprons, incense and ceramic incense burners, glass lettering pens, and unique brass hardware make this a great gift shop as well as a useful resource for people who make beautiful things.
Finding an address in Venice is not simple. An address is simply composed of the sestieri, or district, and a randomly assigned building number. Google Maps will often get this completely wrong.
Arcobaleno Pigmenti is located at San Marco 3457 Venezia... which is actually on Calle de le Boteghe, at the northern corner of the Campo Santo Stephano.
A second location was recently opened in the Dorsoduro neighborhood at Calle della Chiesa 682. Phone +39 041 5236818

Ooohh, how stunningly Beautiful! I can't quite imagine having to choose from so many! What a fantastic find!
ReplyDeleteWhat a magical city to explore, like walking around inside a Renaissance painting. And the music and the architecture and now, the Pigment. Thank you for another lesson in the joy of Art and living!
ReplyDeleteDiscovered the delicious colors in the window of the Dorsoduro shop by accident on the back to my hotel. It was closed so I never got the chance to browse around inside. Then I couldn't find it again. Maybe in the next life. ;-)
