My name is Agata<\/a>, and after attending the Ceramics Art Institute I have worked for over forty years with my husband \u2013 and now with our daughters and son-in-law \u2013 in our fine ceramics workshop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Being a ceramist means inheriting the long-standing tradition of an old skill that was passed from generation to generation \u2013 in my case, from my father-in-law to me. I am fortunate that I can practice this art in beautiful Caltagirone, which for centuries has been renowned for its fine, colorful majolicas.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We like the idea of turning our workshop <\/a>into an \u201copen factory\u201d that everyone can share.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We hold classes of up to an entire day, in which you can start creating your own objects in clay <\/a>using different techniques (coil method, slab method, or freehand). Then you can decorate some terracotta objects<\/a> we will have chosen together: glaze them lightly and pick a technique between freehand drawing, pounce or stencil. All the objects you mold or decorate will be baked in various stages and can be shipped anywhere in Italy for free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
