Spend a couple of hours shaping raw clay with your own hands in a working ceramic studio in Monteverde, one of Rome’s most authentic neighbourhoods. Guided by a local ceramic artist, you’ll learn the basics of hand-building and get to try the ceramic wheel. No experience needed: you’ll leave having made something of your own, from a simple bowl to a cup or a small plate, decorated however your imagination takes you.
Your host, Emanuela, is a visual artist and ceramist who has been working with clay for years, drawing on a wider background in illustration, engraving and printmaking. Her studio in Monteverde is a genuine creative space where she designs and makes her own pieces, so you’ll be working surrounded by real tools, wheels and finished ceramics rather than in a classroom set-up.
During the workshop you’ll get your hands into the clay and learn a few simple techniques to shape an everyday object: a bowl, a cup or a small plate. The focus is on hand-building, which everyone practises throughout the session. The studio has a single ceramic wheel, so throwing is offered when time and availability allow, and can’t be guaranteed to every participant.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
IMPORTANT:
You will not be able to take your work away at the end of the workshop. Drying and firing clay are time-consuming processes that take several days. Therefore, if you would like to take something for the memory, there is a possibility to buy ceramic from the ready-to-go pieces displayed at the studio. If you wish to have your piece fired and delivered to your home, it is possible to receive a personalized quote.
