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.

Nuove attività Autunno 2016

Cari creativi, eccoci alla ripresa autunnale dopo vacanze che spero siano state anche per voi riposanti e stimolanti.

Il laboratorio riprenderà le attività lunedì 5 settembre ma prima ci sarà l'imperdibile visita ad Argillà 2016 a Faenza; domenica 4  ci incontreremo al treno delle 8.40. Treni diretti utili per il rientro alle  16.16 o 18.23. Fatemi sapere chi parteciperà. 
Qui troverete il ricco programma di questa edizione: http://www.argilla-italia.it/programma/
La partecipazione è, come sempre, gratuita e i nuovi amici benvenuti.


Tra gli altri appuntamenti di settembre, (oltre ai tradizionali corsi di decorazione, modellazione e tornio) ci sarà il corso di disegno che mi avete richiesto in tanti (aperte le pre-iscrizioni) e una serata sulla ceramica di Grottaglie/Laterza del ciclo "viaggio in Italia"

Infine, se ci basta il tempo, un workshop su una tecnica guatemalteca dove si incontrano la ceramica e l'arte di intrecciare fibre naturali.

Vi auguro un autunno sereno e creativo
Enzo
