Renaissance's pottery painting workshop

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.

Renaissance's pottery painting workshop

Ciao tutti! My name is Enzo, I’m a Master ceramics artisan originally from Napoli and I’ve been working with ceramics since 2001, specializing in traditional Tuscan Maiolica painting and pottery.

I’ve called Florence home for over 25 years, although I also spend part of my time living in Greece. My ceramic workshop is located near Piazza Beccaria at Via Nardo di Cione 6, Firenze.

I currently have a last-minute opening for an English-language Maiolica ceramics experience and would love to welcome some new creative souls into the studio.

Tuesday May 19th at 10:30- 12:30. I will explain to you the Tuscan Maiolica tradition and you will have the opportunity to paint your own plate in the Maiolica style. The plate will be professionally fired and available for pick up after 3 business days.

As a special offer for members of this group, I’m offering the experience at €45 per person.

No experience is needed — just curiosity and a desire to enjoy an authentic and relaxing, hands-on Florentine artisan experience.

Please send me a private message if you’d like to reserve a spot. Looking forward to meeting more like-minded people from around the world here in Florence!

Also available on may 28th and 29th.
