About this experience

Live a unique experience in the heart of Cagliari by participating in a ceramics workshop!
In a cosy historical house in the Castello district, an expert teacher will show you simple and primitive clay working techniques, and thanks to her skilful suggestions, you will see an entire handmade artefact come to life from your hands. During the workshop, there will be a pleasant break to sip herbal teas and home-made infusions with wild herbs, to relax and immerse yourself even more in the colours and flavours of the island.
Not only will you have the opportunity to unleash your creativity, but you will also be able to create a virtuous circle of exchange: each participant creates a bowl and leaves it for the next, so that the bowls can travel, collect stories and unite people from all over the world, making your creation unique and unrepeatable!
Take part in this original workshop, perfect for those who want to experience art, passion and unique links with this beautiful island!
