Once my sister and I started planning our trip to Sicily, I knew that I would take this pottery class no matter what else happened. It was better than I could have ever imagined and truly a one-of-a-kind experience for me! You are invited into the award-winning artist's studio by herself and her husband. She describes her process of creating works of art including different influences that affect all of us when putting our passion into something we are creating. We made Baroque masks out of clay which she will fire and glaze and ship to you. I consider myself more of a crafter than an artist and she guided me through the whole process. There was also a translator so we could chat during sculpting! Her other art is for sale as well and I bought a couple of espresso cups and saucers. If you want a one-of-a-kind souvenir and experience with amazing people then I recommend this trip 100%. Thank you very much for showing me such a wonderful experience!
It was truly a privilege to share this experience with you. Meeting genuine and passionate people like you turns our work into something truly special. It’s these kinds of connections that make each creation unique and remind us every day just how extraordinary our craft can be. Thank you so much for bringing your curiosity and enthusiasm into our studio—the pleasure was absolutely mutual, and the memory of this day will stay with us as well!
This was truly a very nice experience with very kind people. Gloria and her husband took the time to explain the whole process of making ceramic. They let us the time to try to make something nice. They helped out where needed so we would create very nice masks.Even our teenagers were very enthusiastic about the workshop. If you want to do something out of the box and creative this is the one. I would recommend it 100%
GLORIA'S CLASS WAS AMAZING and we had such a good time, she and her partner were soo welcoming. When we arrived and we all shared a glass of bubbles. She then gave us a studio tour and we spoke about what we would be making. We knew no Italian which was not a problem as Gloria organised a translator, Simone who was also fantastic. The atmosphere was perfect, with great music, some wine and food, lots of good material and a chilled casual environment to get the creative juices flowing. While not being an artist myself, Gloria's teaching method meant we all ended up with something we loved. After the class, they offered us a lift back into town even though it was just a short walk. I would do it again.
