Studio Madelaine is in the old town, half way up Reina Sofia street, overlooking the mountains and Fuerteventura. It's like entering Aladdin's cave but prettier. It's certainly worthwhile a visit.
Madelaine, originally from Germany, first visited Lanzarote on holidays, with her parents at the age of 21. Like so many of us, she fell in love with the place. She came back on holidays by herself 2 years later and within a month she had moved to the island. Initially she worked as a seamstress for 8 years.
As sideline she started painting t-shirts with small designs and this more artistic side eventually took over by she set up Studio Madelaine back in April 1982.
You will find, alongside her own creations, those of other artisans from the island: from cards to painted t-shirts, candles, handmade soaps, ceramics, jewellery, photographs, paintings and knitted goods. With prices ranging from as little as €4.00 up to €45.00 and more for more elaborate but unique pieces you will find an original gift for your loved ones back at home or a treat for yourself.
If you don't see what you are looking for, Madelaine will also put you in touch with the artist so you can commission your own exclusive request. You can even bring your own t-shirt to get it painted.
Madelaine speaks, obviously German, but also is fluent in Spanish & English.
