Before it was a guide to off-grid living, Electronic Cottage was an online arts and crafts gallery. From 1996 it showed the work of painters, potters, glassmakers, jewellers, weavers, woodworkers, leatherworkers, photographers and many more, with an artist of the month, directories of artists and galleries, and pages for individual makers.
If you followed an old link from an artist’s or gallery’s website, thank you for finding your way here. The gallery has closed and the artists’ pages are no longer hosted on this site, but you can still see how it looked in the Internet Archive.
Electronic Cottage today
The name lives on as an independent guide to living off-grid in Spain: solar power, water, waste, buying rural land, and life on a finca in inland Alicante. The crafts haven’t gone completely, either: there’s still a leatherworking bench in the workshop.
