RAKU BENEATH THE STARS
The experience is full day one, from 1 p.m. to 10.30 p.m.. At the beginning we'll spend about 4 hours at the “Laboratorio Artistico”, our atelier. There will be a brief introduction on Raku technique. Later each participant will glaze 2 or 3 pieces freely chosen among a wide range at the atelier (vases, dishes, sculptures). After the glazing we'll move in the hills, at about 20-minute drive from the atelier, where we'll fire the artworks. Raku technique in fact envisages a second firing, open-flames almost 1000°, at which will follow the extraction of the pieces, still incandescent. Moreover we'll do a number of operations, with water, air, smoke, that will confer to the pieces unique colors and shades. During the firing, that will last about 3 hours and that will happen during sunset/evening, we'll offer to the participants a happy hour/dinner. The end of the experience is expected to be at about 10.30 p.m.. You can then bring home with you your creations.

MAKE YOUR CERAMIC MUG
During this hands-on workshop you will create a pair of tea mug or a pair of coffe cups. I will tell you about my experience with pottery and I will show you the different materials we can work with. We will choose together the most suitable technique, then we will design the mug and shape your creation, following your ideas. When it will come the time, we will have a break for a good tea and I will make you a special sweet gift to taste! Once our molding phase is done, you will choose the colors for your object and I will then cook it, glaze it and finally send it to you. If you are in Italy the shipping costs are included, while if you come from abroad we will find a way for the shipping.
