Dryland’s handmade cotto team: who, what, how.

Dryland was born in the heart of Italy, in Umbria, and is an all-Italian Company that deals with the production of handmade cotto/terracotta: our clays are unique because they are extracted from the our quarry, that is 3.5 million years old. Its quality is thus guaranteed by the transparency of its origins, and confirmed by certification issued by organs, also Italian, responsible to verify the characteristics of a quality product.
Dryland is in fact a registered trademark, which aims to protect the handmade Italian terracotta.
