Highlights

B&B Apartments Lazzarini-Battiala - The workshop we carry out is a unique experience that takes place in Martinski (Sveti Martin) a small village 10km from Labin in the historical baroque palace Lazzarini-Battiala. This was the summer residence of the last nobel family Lazzarini-Battiala from Labin.
The workshop will take place from 9:30 till 11:30 and here you will learn the basics of the materials, handbuilding technics and throwing on the pottery wheel with a mentor, Masimo or Piero from Merania family ceramic manufacture. First they will demonstrate throwing simple forms, traditional forms like the bukaleta (a traditional wine jug). Then you will sit at your own wheel and start working with a small amount of clay. They will asist you and help you make a few forms by your choice. After throwing they will show you handuilding technics without the pottery wheel. You can take away the clay products you make but they are not fired so can easily brake. Clay products will become ceramic products after firing which is done 1-2 weeks after producing them. We can then send you these products with additional shipping costs.

- Use of pottery equipment
