About this activity

Vietri sul Mare is a small village in the Amalfi Coast and is particularly renowned for the production of handmade ceramics and majolica by local artisans. The history of Vietri ceramics dates back to the fifth century B.C., but it flourished especially during the thirteenth century, when these products became one of the best-selling accessories of the Republic of Amalfi.
Since the 16th century, not only tiles and kitchen utensils have been created, but also bowls, pitchers and more. Following the persecution of Jews, in the 1930s many foreign artists come to Vietri to offer their art in exchange for a safe place, and this has given new impetus to this ancient tradition. In fact, additional techniques and formulas for decoration have been discovered, as well as a new color such as "yellow of Vietri".
Today in Vietri, ceramics are an integral part of the landscape, and at every corner of the town you can see a craft workshop displaying tiles, vases, trays and many other objects. It is no coincidence that the Amalfi municipality has been named UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997 for the richness of its cultural and artistic heritage.
So why not try this fun educational course on making and decorating pottery in Vietri? During the class, you will be shown every step of the pottery making process and learn the main techniques.

If you choose to decorate a jar, you will have a cylindrical surface to customize with creative patterns. Decorating vertically will allow you to work in height, creating designs that run along the object. You can choose from a variety of motifs, from traditional to modern, using the colors and techniques you prefer.

If you prefer instead a tile, you will work on a flat surface, on which you can apply the decoration horizontally. This will give you more room to create larger or compound designs, which you can enhance with details and colors. The decorated tile will be a perfect keepsake to display or use as a decorative element.

In both cases, you will have glazes and brushes specifically for decorating on ceramics, and I will be by your side to guide you through the process. You can customize your work with traditional, abstract, or creatively inspired motifs, making each piece unique and special.

The course will allow you to indulge in decorations while learning the use of the traditional lathe, or torniello, a typical tool of the craftsmanship. In addition, the items created can be shipped, once baked, at the participants' own expense.
Do you also feel like throwing yourself into the fantastic art of Vietrese ceramics? Then hurry up and reserve your spot!

    Participating in the Vietri ceramics class was one of the best decisions I made! I learned so much about different pottery techniques and created pieces that I never thought I would be able to make. The instructors are fantastic and always ready to give advice and support. The beauty of Vietri sul Mare adds a magical touch to the whole experience. Highly recommended!
