Throw Like a Pro in a Private Intensive Wheel Session in Florence (opens in a new tab)

1 h 30 min

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.
