Handcrafted prints from Venice, made by hand
Plum Plum Creations is Arianna’s atelier. A Venetian illustrator and printmaker, she creates handcrafted prints inspired by the city.
Each artwork is created in her studio and takes shape through traditional printmaking techniques, in an entirely handmade process.
How a print is made
Subject research
Landscapes, glimpses, and palaces: Venice is my endless source of inspiration.
Preparatory drawings
First of all, I sketch on paper what I want the final result to be.
Working on the plate
I transfer the drawing in reverse onto copper, zinc, or linoleum.
I ink the plate and print it using an intaglio or vertical press.

Drawing, intaglio and printing: everything starts here
Plum Plum Creations was born from my lifelong passion for art and drawing, combined with the experience I gained through intaglio printmaking and linocut courses, where I discovered fascinating art forms that are perhaps less well known today.
Printmaking combines drawing and craftsmanship, giving life to results that are always different and surprising. I do not create mass-produced prints: each work comes from a handmade process that makes it unique.
I opened my atelier in 2016 with the desire to have a space where I could experiment with new techniques, meet people, and share this practice. Venice is not just a subject, but an integral part of my creative process, present in the marks, shapes, and details of every print.
My goal is to keep these traditional printmaking techniques alive through my work and through intaglio printmaking and linocut courses, open to anyone who wishes to explore this world.

If you would like to learn these techniques, I offer intaglio printmaking and linocut courses for anyone who wishes to explore this world, even starting from scratch.
You can also visit the atelier for a live printmaking demonstration.
Every print is a unique piece.
The available prints are handmade and may feature slight variations — this is precisely what makes each one different from the others.
Each copy is printed individually by hand, so slight variations naturally occur from one print to another.
Works on request
I create commissioned works: watercolors inspired by Venice or by a subject chosen together.
It is a much-appreciated option as a wedding gift, wedding favor, or keepsake of a special moment connected to the city.
For the wedding of an Australian couple, I created a watercolor of Palazzo Pisani Moretta, the Venetian palace chosen for the ceremony.
An artwork created as a memory of that moment: unique, personal, and connected to a place and a story.
Every work begins with a shared idea.
You can start from a personalized watercolor or from an existing etching.
