What To Expect
Hi, my name is Matteo and thank you for being here!
In my family business we make Tuscan pottery since generations, and after achieving the Certificate of Excellence from Tripadvisor we decided to open our knowledge to everyone that is curious to discover that very ancient tradition and wants to learn its secrets.
In a full immersive two/three hours class we will experience together all the process in ceramic making.
Our shop in town is like our house, it is open since twenty years and it will be a pleasure to share our passion with you.
The factory is a bit outside the city (in case I will bring you there with my car) and is where we make the magic, and you will see how many hands handle one single ceramic from a piece of clay to a decorated majolica.
Then I won't say more, it's a full-immersive experience that you have to feel with your eyes, your hands and your heart.
