What you can expect

  • Let's get our hands dirty.

    Here in Grottaglie, you and your fellow travelers can discover the art of ceramics directly at the source, in a studio located inside an old underground olive oil mill, nestled in the heart of the Ceramics District.

    Guided step by step, you will learn to shape clay on the potter's wheel, creating objects such as small vases, plates or bowls with your own hands. No experience is required: we will guide you through every step, from an introduction to the materials to making your first creation.

    This experience is not just a workshop: it is a journey into Apulian artisanal tradition, allowing you to get in touch with an ancient craft in a welcoming and inspiring environment, through a unique experience that few travelers have the opportunity to enjoy.
