What you'll do
In three hours, you will experience the modeling of clay, its plasticity, try the throw, see how an object is glazed and try to do it. You can also try the decoration on ceramic enamel.
Usually we start with the modeling of small animals, then we experiment the technique of "colombino" and "slab", finally we try a the throw.
After a short coffee break, let's try the geometric division for the decoration of a plate and the first brush strokes. Then the "bath" enamelling is experimented and finally the decoration with metal oxides on ceramic enamel.
For those who want to deepen this knowledge it is possible to continue the appointments in order to practice and acquire new practical skills.
With this formula I give you a general overview of the production and you can try a little of everything.
Other things to note
Tickets for transport are not included.
I will supply an apron, but if you want you can use your work clothes.

I am a restless architect with kin interests in artistic heritage and environment but my great passions are Design and ceramics which combine in my art. Working with clay I feel a strong emotion and love the excitement of opening the kiln after firing to discover the treasures from my experiments with their unique variations in color and effects. I have been a teacher and tutor in professional courses. I have worked with children in sculpture classes of primary schools. Now I am president of a cultural association.
What I love mostly is creating my own ceramics and sharing them with others.

Where you'll be
The workshops in summer are held in the inner courtyard of the building, outdoors. In winter, at the studio of my house upstairs.
Rated 4.97 out of 5 from 29 reviews.
The experience was just as amazing as Elvira was. She was very welcoming and very nice. We got to make several different pieces and then were able to paint a tile. The price is great for the value of what you are getting, Elvira was very helpful along the way when we needed some assistance. My wife and I highly recommend Elvira and her workshop.

We had a wonderful time in Elvira‘s studio!Even though I booked very last minute and I was the only participant the course took place and Elvira was a great host, teacher. Elvira invited my 4,5 year old son to stay along and let him join in, he had a brilliant time! So did I, we will surely be back for more!

The workshop with Elvira was great. She showed me a lot of different things, from forming the clay to painting tile. When something didn't work out, she showed me how to do it better and let me try it again (several times ;) ) Elvira is a very nice and friendly person.
It was a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend it!
