Your experience begins with an introduction to coil building, a traditional ceramic technique that allows forms to be created gradually by layering and shaping rolls of clay.

Designed for both beginners and those with an interest in contemporary ceramics, this workshop offers a rewarding opportunity to experience the artistic side of pottery while working with high-quality materials in an elegant Milanese atelier.

Raku is one of the oldest and most visually dramatic firing techniques in ceramics — and one of the few where you witness the transformation in real time. Unlike conventional pottery classes, this experience takes you through the entire creative arc: from raw clay to a finished, glazed object shaped by your own hands and marked by fire. The studio near Padenghe sul Garda is a working artist's space, not a tourist workshop. Sessions are kept small, allowing for close guidance and genuine creative engagement at every stage. No prior experience is needed — the process is accessible to anyone, and the results are always personal. What guests take away is not just a ceramic piece, but something made entirely by them, fired using a centuries-old Japanese method that leaves patterns no two pieces share. Once complete, the work is shipped directly to their home — a lasting reminder of an afternoon spent creating with their hands on the shores of Lake Garda.
