Top Puglia Pottery Classes

Lecce is famous for its baroque architecture and authentic cuisine. With this cooking class in the heart of the city’s old town, experience the best of both. Meet your hosts at an “osteria” set on one of the most charming lanes in the historic center and discover the secrets to rolling and shaping fresh “orecchiette” pasta, a traditional specialty from Puglia. Then relax over a guided wine tasting paired with regional delicacies.

Develop your creativity with the help of Ciro, master ceramicist with decades of experience: inside his workshop located within the walls of a farm, he will follow you step by step in the creation of a unique piece of ceramics that, if you want, you can take with you. At the end of the workshop, enjoy an aperitif in the shade of the trees in the courtyard of the historic Masseria.

Our studio is located in a fascinating cave, a space rich in history and atmosphere that has been adapted to house our contemporary art gallery. MENA FUECO offers a selection of funky and unusual ceramic works with a strong personality and an extraordinary story to tell. Works that deserve to be seen, artists who deserve to be known. MENA FUECO is the art of encounter. It stems from the impulse to celebrate the creative fire that vibrates within us. To indulge and share the demiurgic spirit that finds happiness by experimenting, assembling, playing with shapes, colours and materials. We want to tickle that part of each of us that has never quite ‘grown up’. That inner child who still makes us look at things with awe and wonder, whose eyes linger curiously over even the most minute details, and whose hands cannot resist exploring hitherto unknown textures and shapes.

Share your passion for Italian gastronomy with other travelers, and enjoy an authentic hands-on cooking class in Alberobello. Visit the vibrant local market with your host, who will teach you how to select the best ingredients based on the seasons. Then, learn how to make a type of pasta and classic tiramisu. Discover regional Italian gastronomy and enjoy the meal with local wines.
