Spells of Earth and Colour between Creativity, Tradition and Craftsmanship
Immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of a real artisan workshop located in the enchanting hills of Chianti Rufina, surrounded by breathtaking views of olive groves and vineyards. Here, under the expert guidance of the Innocenti brothers, you will enjoy a unique experience dedicated to Tuscan ceramic art.
The course begins with a fascinating introduction to the history of ceramics and the traditional techniques of Tuscan majolica, a craft heritage handed down through generations.
You will then get your hands dirty and shape your piece using the ancient Etruscan rolling technique, a method that will allow you to create a truly unique object.
Once you have created your piece, you will move on to the most creative phase: personalised decoration. Choose colours, patterns and details inspired by Tuscan tradition or let your imagination guide you, to create a piece of pottery that tells your story.
At the end of the experience, your work will be fired in the kiln for 24 hours. Once ready, you can collect it or have it conveniently shipped to your home (shipping costs excluded).A course designed for those who want to learn an ancient art, rediscover manual skills and experience a moment of authentic creativity in a place rich in beauty and tradition.
And as you leave the workshop, you will feel that a touch of Tuscan magic has transformed a simple lump of clay into a talisman of memory and wonder.
