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.

Worth it! - This was a great experience to make our own ceramic creation. My wife and I had a great time and learned a lot as we both had never done anything like it before. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful ceramics course - I took my sister to a pottery class as a birthday present. Editing the clay was difficult at first, but really nice. We got a good start with our instruction and got some nice vases made. I warmly recommend it to everyone.

Fun experience - The instructor was very nice. It was a quick one-hour lesson but seemed like a perfect amount of time to try out the pottery wheel. She was very patient and helpful. It was fun. It is right on the street with all the ceramic shops and restaurants. About a 20-minute walk from the ferry (uphill). She was very accommodating with us by changing our time by one hour as needed to make the ferry schedule. Highly recommend for a fun quick experience.

Wonderful ceramics experience - This short ceramics lesson was such a fabulous experience! The instructor is super knowledgeable and helped me create a small vase on the wheel. She even offered to send it to me after it is fired. I can’t wait to send payment for shipping and put it on display :)

Amazing experience for first timers! - We had a great time learning how to handle and mold the clay and the tequniques used to achieve certain shapes. The instructor was very patient with us first timers and happy to share her skills when we weren't quite getting the hang of it so we could still achieve a successful outcome
