What is Pitoti?
When I was looking for a name for my business I thought of how throughout history humankind have always had the need to decorate their environment using color, texture and different materials. When and where did it begin? A little search brought me to the stone carvings of Val Camonica, Italy. The camunni, residents of the valley during the Roman period, called the figures carved in stone “Pitoti”, meaning "puppet". When I read that, I knew I found the perfect name for what I love to do.
Who am I?
My name is Dana. I live in Tel Aviv, Israel with my husband and twin girls. I studied textile design at the Shenkar College of Engineering & Design (Ramat Gan, Israel) and have designed bed linens for various home-textile companies. These days my design work is primarily inspired and influenced by my kids. In fact, the very first wall art I have made was created because I wanted to make their bedroom as happy and colorful a place as possible. I always look for ways to spend quality time with my girls and bonding with them through arts and crafts. I hope I can do the same for you here ♥
