If you ever wanted to see all the steps of creating a ceramic piece, get to know materials used in creating it and feel the clay on the pottery wheel and experience a pot being created in your own hands ... then this is the experience for you! In a real working atmosphere with all materials and equipment at hand you will work along with a mentor on the pottery wheel step by step. You will also try out handbuilding technics which is interesting as well. Maybe after this workshop you will decide to continue at home and make pottery a relaxing hobby!
You will be able to see the whole ceramic production, from materials, handbuilding, molding, handthrowing, glazing, painting and firing. The workshop will take place from 9:30 till 11:30 and here you will learn the basics of the materials, handbuilding technics and throwing on the pottery wheel with a mentor, Masimo or Piero from Merania family ceramic manufacture. First they will demonstrate throwing simple forms, traditional forms like the bukaleta (a traditional wine jug). Then you will sit at your own wheel and start working with a small amount of clay. They will asist you and help you make a few forms by your choice. After throwing they will show you handuilding technics without the pottery wheel. You can take away the clay products you make but they are not fired so can easily brake. Clay products will become ceramic products after firing which is done 1-2 weeks after producing them. We can then send you these products with additional shipping costs.
When you arrive in Rasa, after the square take the first street (Istarska ulica) left and ride to the end of this street and follow signs for Merania.
