Our classes are for everyone.
We don't care whether you're a master at the wheel or you've never touched clay in your life. There's one rule here: you learn by doing.
You get dirty (very), you get it wrong (often), you laugh, and you walk out with something that has your soul pressed into it. Only one thing counts: hands in the clay, and something good coming out of it.
300 sqm of RAW PUGLIA.
This is no sterile classroom under neon lights. We work inside a real cave, a former olive mill that sweats history, in the heart of the Ceramics District.
Peeling walls, loud music, real people. It stays on you, like clay ❤️🔥.
The workshop was verry nice!
Its loods so easy but pretty hard to do

Jeroen from Holland.
Fun and super satisfying workshop, guided by the mastery of a young and innovative local artist. Thank you Francesco for your patience and bringing fresh air to our town!
Mi sono divertita moltissimo al workshop. Francesco é molto simpatico e ci ha spiegato con pazienza e molto bene come usare il tornio. é stata un’esperienza molto bella e rilassante.
We came all the way from Amsterdam, and we were helped incredibly well. It was definitely a really fun experience! This is truly highly recommended and a beautiful place with a lovely art gallery. Definitely a 10+!
Stop thinking about it. Pick your workshop, hit BOOK NOW, choose a date, pay. Done.
Heads up: the calendar is automatic. Your booking is 100% confirmed only if our tutors are actually free in that slot. If there's an overlap or something comes up in the studio, we get in touch straight away to reschedule or refund you down to the last cent.
🛠️ How does it work?
No endless courses. Two hours of pure practice. Come once for the fun of it, or keep coming back until you're a guru. Your call.
🛩️ Private sessions
(VIP, but not too much)
The studio all to yourself and your crew. Two hours, up to 6 people, no strangers in your group.
🫰🏻 What does it cost?
Group class: €40 per person.
3-class pass: €100 per person (instead of €120).
One-to-one: €100.
For two: €120 for the pair.
Private, up to 6 people: €150 for the whole group. Split it however you like.
Want to take your pieces home? Firing and glazing cost €10 per piece, and you decide at the end of the session — nothing is charged upfront. Pieces are ready in about a month (a week for the majolica workshop).
🗓️ What dates?
Click "BOOK NOW" on any workshop to see live availability.
👥 How many of us?
You can sign up for a group class on your own, but we need at least 3 desperate souls to run it (bring friends). Otherwise we refund you or move the date. Maximum 8 people — no sardine effect.
🗣️ What language?
Italian and English. Tell us in the order notes which one you'd rather work in.
📍 Where are you?
Via Francesco Crispi 57, inside the old olive mill — 74023 Grottaglie (TA), Puglia. Right in the Ceramics District.
Wear something you don't mind ruining: clay does not come out.
❓ What if I can't make it?
CLEAR TERMS:
1. We cancel? You get everything back. Obviously.
2. You can't come? Tell us 2 days ahead = full refund.
3. You wake up and bail? We keep the money. The tutors get paid either way. (If we can, we'll try to move you to another date — we're not monsters 🫶.)
