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.

Ripresa autunnale

Cari amici officinali,
eccoci di ritorno dalle vacanze balneari con poca abbronzatura e molta voglia di fare ceramica.

Da lunedì 10 ricominciano i consueti corsi di decorazione e modellazione (quest'anno anche gres e alte temperature).
Venerdi 21 primo appuntamento speciale con gli artisti da (ri)scoprire: in concomitanza con la bellissima mostra romana, una serate sull'arte e la ceramica di Duilio Cambellotti.
Inoltre entro il mese di settembre vorrei far partire il workshop autunnale di Raku in 5 lezioni (una lezione in più/ stesso costo): aperte le preiscrizioni.
Infine vorrei calendarizzare per inizio ottobre un nuovo appuntamento con i gioielli in porcellana (stavolta con smalti!).

E mi fermo qui perché ho studiato durante le vacanze la ceramica bizantina e poi c'è il tornio, lo sgraffito e aspetto un monte di foto intereantissime dal viaggio in Uzbekistan di Angelica e Piero che hanno esplorato per noi un intero continente di arte decorativa...

Insomma ci sarà molta carne al fuoco, anzi ceramica...Avvertite a casa che si farà tardi!
