I took my sister to a pottery class as a birthday present. Editing the clay was difficult at first, but really nice. We got a good start with our instruction and got some nice vases made. I warmly recommend it to everyone.

The instructor was very nice. It was a quick one-hour lesson but seemed like a perfect amount of time to try out the pottery wheel. She was very patient and helpful. It was fun. It is right on the street with all the ceramic shops and restaurants. About a 20-minute walk from the ferry (uphill). She was very accommodating with us by changing our time by one hour as needed to make the ferry schedule. Highly recommend for a fun quick experience.

It was a lovely experience. My boyfriend and had made a vase and the lady was very attentive. We also learnt about the history of abietti pottery and why is so famous, as well as three history of the technique itself. A very friendly environment!

This short ceramics lesson was such a fabulous experience! The instructor is super knowledgeable and helped me create a small vase on the wheel. She even offered to send it to me after it is fired. I can’t wait to send payment for shipping and put it on display :)

We had a great time learning how to handle and mold the clay and the tequniques used to achieve certain shapes. The instructor was very patient with us first timers and happy to share her skills when we weren't quite getting the hang of it so we could still achieve a successful outcome
