Oh my, where do I start,
I have wanted to try Pottery for as long as I can remember, finally for my 30th Birthday my husband and I booked this experience.
Believe me when I say that it is well worth every penny. It is such a personal experience, the teachers are very helpful and just lovely people. The day was filled with laughing and great vibes !
The workshop is just incredible, being able to watch the very talented artists create in the same space you learn. It is not just a class, you sit in the teachers chair where they create.
Painting the tiles was a pleasant surprise, it is alot harder than I expected! My husband got the hang of it very quickly! They were very impressed !
I am so soo grateful for this experience and recommend it to anyone who visits Catania.
If I ever visit Catania again I will come visit/book another class.
Thank you, thank you for making my birthday special ♡

This is one of the best memories from Catania. I was with my husband and we met wonderful people there. The place is unique. A beautiful factory, full of wonderful handicrafts.
We had the opportunity to work with Giovanni and Katia. Giovanni showed us how to work with clay on the wheel and it must be emphasized that he was very patient. Katia showed us how to paint on ceramics.
Before going there, it is worth bearing in mind that you can get dirty, which was not a problem for us. We also received aprons, which in our case protected us completely 😊
If you have the soul of an artist in you, this place is a must on your list.
Thank you very much.
If there is a chance, we will definitely come back! 🥰

We loved learning about the process and taking part in it both by making our own clay vessels as well as painting! We get to keep all of the things we made and Giovanni was an amazing teacher and friend!

Amazing! Worth the trip. I just took my daughter and with it being the two of it it was a laid back experience. It was so neat to see their process and learn more about pottery. Both myself and my daughter(age7) have used a pottery wheel before which I think helped smooth things along.
The staff was welcoming and helpful. 100% recommend for a small group (under 3 people). It is in their working factory and it can cause disruptions with a large group. Especially I the smaller spaces and risk of breaking.

My wife and I traveled with two other couples. This tour exceeded all of our expectations. The artisans were very patient and spent a lot of time with each of us as we tried our hand at working with the clay and painting our personal tile souvenir. There was always one or two of the staff to help translate our questions and to explain what the very talented artisans were saying and doing. Of course you could peruse their completed works and buy something but there was no high pressure to do that. This is a family enterprise and everyone made you feel comfortable and welcomed. If you're looking for something different to do during your visit to Sicily, especially if you're going to be in or near Catania, I highly recommend this tour.
