Highlights
-
Pulcinella sciòroom - The magic potter’s wheel.
You will be able to learn the basic positions and feel the pleasant sensation of wet clay running fast under your fingers.
You get so dirty, but it’s amazing to see a shape grow in your hands.
It’s a difficult art and it takes many hours of practice before you can make a potter’s wheel.
I will help you make at least one small cup.

Best part of my day in Vietri sul Mare! - This was without a doubt the highlight of my day trip in Vietri sul Mare! Elvira was so welcoming and is a fantastic teacher — I loved that I could learn about the importance of ceramics for the city while trying the process myself. Such a unique experience to appreciate Vietri sul Mare with a talented artist. You should definitely find time to take this class with Elvira, even if you are only there for the day!

I had such a great time... - I had such a great time at the ceramic lesson! The teacher was super friendly and made the whole process easy and fun. I got to learn the basics, try out different techniques, and make something I was really proud of. It was relaxing, creative, and a nice break from just sightseeing. Definitely a unique experience I’d recommend to anyone visiting!

Memorable experience! - My husband and I took a class with Elvira on a rainy July afternoon while our daughters looked on (they are 5 and 6 so too young for the wheel but learned a lot by watching!) It's harder than it looks but Elvira was a great teacher and we had a memorable time!

Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - My friends and I took part in a private lesson on ceramic tradition, a special gift I wanted to give to my best friend... and it was a creative experience that I recommend to everyone!
Elvira was kind, welcoming and super helpful: she accompanied us step by step with patience, professionalism and a lot of sympathy. We had so much fun, and we felt immediately comfortable, even if it was the first time we tried something like this.
Thank you Elvira 💕

Worth having a go - I enjoyed the 121 lesson on throwing a pot and Elvira is a skilled potter - she was able to break it down into easy steps and help me when I had a go. She also gave me a history of ceramics in the town which was fascinating.
