5.00The manager was very friendly and very well prepared. After a short introduction to the theoretical part, she showed her skills and helped us with our own design. The atmosphere was familiar and we were provided with many materials and utensils. An experience that brings you closer to the island. I can only recommend the course.
A lovely time, well spent!

5.00I had a lovely morning with Marzia practicing and learning about some of the vast history and varied pottery techniques. It was a wonderful experience relaxing with the clay, painting a tile and spending some time getting to know more about the local life on Ischia. Highly recommended, great for all ages and experience levels!

5.00My first experience with clay in Ischia, where the art of ceramics has a centuries-old tradition, was special and unique! You will be able to experiment your creativity, both with modeling and painting, discovering the main material and techniques. The staff is super welcoming and knowledgeable, able to guide both those who already have knowledge and those starting from scratch. You will be fascinated by this world thanks to the history of the family in the creation of ceramic objects and you will have the opportunity to take home your very personal creation (in my case the ashtray octopus you see in the picture)!
First experience with clay

5.00It was my first experience with clay and I will certainly keep trying. I was shown different techniques and also playing with colors was very interesting. It was a very pleasant atmosphere with a lot of ease. You were also allowed to learn through mistakes, which was very sympathetic to me. I had NO confidence but after 3hrs had created two vessels and a mask, through loving explanations. I was also allowed to paint a plate at the end. Pure fun with success. Highly recommended !
Great experience, a must do

5.00We had a wonderful pottery experience, Marzia was a very patient and creative teacher, giving us ideas and techniques to create our own pottery masterpiece. We really wanted to find out more about the history of ceramics in this area of Ischia and Marzia our teacher was very knowledgeable of the rich history of this beautiful island. It was a unique experience and one we won't forget we wished we could have stayed longer. We took the option to have our items shipped to us after they have been fired in the oven. We would highly recommend this experience.
