Itinerary

Arrive at the atelier and immerse yourself in a creative, intimate, and authentic environment in the heart of Ragusa. The experience begins with a welcome drink, designed to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere from the very start. After a brief introduction to the history of the studio, you’ll dive into the heart of the workshop. With the artist’s guidance, you’ll discover how to work with clay, shape a simple form, and decorate your ceramic piece with colours & details. The activity is designed to be enjoyable and accessible even for those who have never worked with ceramics before. The artist will guide you step by step, helping you transform an idea into a tangible creation. You’ll have the opportunity to experiment, ask questions, draw inspiration from the atmosphere of the atelier, and enjoy a creative moment that goes beyond traditional sightseeing. At the end of the experience, you’ll have created your own small artwork: an authentic souvenir made by you, carrying the memory of your time in Sicily. As ceramics require technical processing times for drying, firing, and glazing, your piece may be available for collection at a later date or shipped upon prior agreement.
