Overview

This is not a tourist demonstration or a generic workshop. You will work inside a real Tuscan pottery studio, guided by a craftsman whose family has been shaping clay for generations.
Every technique we teach comes from real production experience — not just theory.

Unlike standard classes, this session is focused, intensive, and entirely wheel-based. You will not just “try” the wheel — you will refine your control, efficiency, and precision with practical corrections that can immediately improve the way you work at home.

We personally guide the participant, adapting the session to your level and pushing you to reach a higher standard.

This is a one-to-one professional, hands-on training experience rooted in Italian ceramic heritage — not entertainment, but real craftsmanship.

What's included

  • Raw clay, working clothes and ceramic wheel
  • Shipment not included

What to expect

PLEASE NOTE: This session is designed for experienced potters only. If you are a complete beginner, we recommend booking our standard pottery experience instead.

Hi, my name is Matteo — thank you for being here!
My family has been making pottery for generations, and after earning TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence, we began welcoming travelers from all over the world to experience this tradition.

After the success of our original experience, we created this intensive 1.5-hour wheel session for those who want to seriously elevate their skills.

Discover the magic of the potter’s wheel in a fully immersive class dedicated entirely to wheel throwing.
In just 90 minutes, you will change the way you work at the wheel forever — saving hours of frustration and avoiding mistakes that hold most potters back.

You will focus on centering, control, wall consistency, efficiency, and form refinement — working side-by-side with a 50+ years experience master potter in a dynamic, fully wheel-based environment.

No hand-building — just you, the clay, and the spinning wheel.

Get ready to get your hands dirty and upgrade your technique in true Italian style!
