With this experience I'm offering an evocative journey through the ages. I'll show you the manufacturing of soils and of their colors. I'll tell you and I'll let you try, manually, the fascinating working technique used by the potters of the Roman times. They were considered as great artists, so much that their artworks were valued as gold! I'll guide you through the handmade creation of small jewels and other objects of your choice. You can bring them with you, or better, I'll send them to you once they are fired. Through this workshop you'll find out the connections of our territory with the ancient past. This is in fact characterized by the population of “Stabiae” (the current Castellammare di Stabia), which was the favorite “holiday destination” of patricians.
If weather permits, we'll work open air with a panoramic view on the Naples Gulf, with the majestic Vesuvio in front of us.
Wear comfortable clothes, you'll find all the rest here!

CLAY AND NATURE IN POSITANO
Elisabetta, sculptress
Immersed in the luxuriant and wild nature that this territory still offers in abundance. Along the hills cordillera of the Peninsula, going down towards the breath-taking coasts. There where at sunrise and sunset you can spot dolphins jumping through the waves. Among so much beauty, we'll find the inspiration, in its harmonious geometries and in the perfume of its colors. We'll create objects by using clay gathered exactly in these places. We'll immerse ourselves in moments where the nature will create with us, filling ourselves with its most luxuriant expression. We'll shape our precious artworks in an upland in front of a 360° view. We'll decorate by observing the geometry of a leaf or using the streaked surface of a shell found on the cliffs. Listening the symphony of the breeze among the branches in a little clearing. In the evening we'll fire our objects relaxing ourselves around the fire. This creative path will occur at the “Rifugio La Selva” in Positano. It's an evocative place with the slopes of Montepertuso behind his back. The perfect location for this workshop that will accompany us for a full day.

YOUR PULCINELLA
Pasquale, engraver
The hands-on workshop will start with a theoretical introduction of the tools and materials that we are going to utilize and will then proceed with a practical full immersion during which you will design and create your own Pulcinella to bring home. For those who doesn't know what Pulcinella is, it is one of the main character of the Neapolitan puppetry. We will run together all the production cycle, starting with the painting of head and limbs, the assembly of the structure and ending with the setting of the posture and the dressing of the mannequin. All the necessary materials are provided by the artisan and included in the total price. The final Pulcinella will be 30/35 cm tall, will have terracotta head and limbs, glass eyes, hemp and haywire body and fabric clothes. The overall process will last 12 hours, the whole weekend. (8hours on Saturday and 4 on Sunday) We will have a wonderful lunch break to taste some traditional Campania food such as Mozzarella di Bufala, small tomatoes from Piennolo del Vesuvio (seasonal product), Maialino nero Casertano ham, warm sfogliatelle, brick-oven home made bread and some good wine.
