Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche

Book your Maiolica Experience

Step inside a traditional Florentine ceramic studio and experience the beauty of Tuscan craftsmanship as you paint your own maiolica plate using authentic, time honored designs. In this small, intimate group setting, you'll be guided step by step by a Master Ceramist- no prior experience needed. This is a calm hands on experience designed for anyone who wants to slow down, get creative, and take home a truly personal souvenir from Florence. During the workshop you'll be introduced to the history of Tuscan maiolica, choose from a selection of traditional patterns, and enjoy a guided painting session in an authentic studio environment. At the end you will have a unique piece that reflects both local tradition and your own touch. Plate will be professionally glazed and fired. Please contact me for availability.

Weekly Ceramics Courses

My ceramics courses are more then just a place to learn pottery- they are an opportunity to slow down, work with your hands, and become part of a creative community in Florence. Located near Piazza Beccaria, the studio welcomes locals, international students, and expats looking for an authentic artistic experience in a relaxed environment. Whether you are completely new to ceramics or already have experience, the courses are personalized and designed to help you develop your creativity at your own pace while sharing the space with like-minded people. Many students join not only to learn traditional ceramic techniques, but also to meet new people, practice Italian and build meaningful connections through creativity. The studio atmosphere is informal, welcoming, and centered around craftsmanship, conversation, and community. Courses are hand-building amongst other traditional techniques. I offer flexible memberships for both short term and long term students.

Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche

Visita al Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche

Domenica 3 novembre 2013, presto la mattina, ci siamo incontrati alla stazione dei treni di Santa Maria Novella. Un consistente gruppo di appassionati della scuola di ceramica, mezzo addormentato ma pieno di allegria, è salito sul treno che portava a Faenza per visitare il museo internazionale delle ceramiche e la mostra su Arturo Martini, artista novecentesco alla ricerca di un ideale di bellezza che guardava con attenzione ai grandi del passato e alla storia della scultura italiana.

Usciti dal museo, non poteva mancare la foto di gruppo ma sopratutto un bel pranzo ad una tipica trattoria emiliana.

Alla prossima visita!
