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.

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.
My New Book
I am proud to announce that my book, "Dei Vasi e dei Vasari," is hot off the presses!
I will be hosting a presentation at my studio Friday June 26th at 18:00. I look forward to sharing this labor of love with all of you!
Reviews
I feel truly honored and proud to see so many wonderful reviews of my studio.
Every review means a lot to me because it reflects not only the work I do, but also the connections and experiences shared with the people who visit my studio.
I consider myself very fortunate; I have the privilege of doing a job I genuinely love in the extraordinary city of Florence. Everyday I am privileged to meet fascinating people from all over the world. Each encounter brings new stories, perspectives, and inspiration.
To everyone who has taken the time to leave a review, share their experience, or support my work: thank you. Your words motivate me to keep improving and to continue pursuing my passion.
I am deeply grateful for your trust and support.
Mostra Internazionale dell'Artigianato
In occasione della 78ª edizione della Mostra Internazionale dell’Artigianato è stato presentato il progetto "Galleria dell’Artigianato". Si tratta di una sperimentazione artistica con lo scopo di dare maggiore visibilità alle produzioni artistiche locali di alto livello qualitativo. La Galleria si articola in due diversi percorsi, “La tradizione dell’Artigianato” con oggetti in cui lo stile, la tecnica, il materiale traggono forza e ispirazione dalla storia e tradizione toscana, e “Esperienze di Ricerca” dove sono presentate opere di artigiani toscani che esplorano nuovi percorsi espressivi utilizzando diversi e personali linguaggi artistici e tecnici.
Quest'anno fra gli artisti-artigiani selezionati è presente anche Vincenzo Formisano, della scuola di ceramica Officina, con due sue opere che rappresentano ricerche sperimentali basandosi sempre su materiali e tecniche tradizionali dove la scuola figurativa dei maestri rinascimentali è coniugata con contemporanei criteri di design per creare un grafismo totale e monocromatico di sorprendente impatto.
