Top Rome Pottery Classes

Derrick was a charming, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Attentive to our enjoyment of the experience and the artisans we were meeting. Each were different but all were warm and welcoming. There was simply nothing to fault.

My 8 year old daughter left and said it was the highlight of her trip in Rome (so far). The perfect way to enjoy a bit of downtime - the session was very much tailored to us, we were pretty much hands on all the time and our hosties was just perfect in every way

We arrived at the studio at the appointed time. Upon seeing samples of mosaics, we asked Gaia, the artist-instructor, if we might create a mosaic in lieu of a piece of pottery. What a wonderful opportunity! We chose a pattern to follow, glued it to our little square then got to work! (Gaia had exchanged all the materials she’d set up for pottery with materials needed for making a mosaic.) While we worked, Gaia shared her vast knowledge about this ancient art and its long history. It was truly an afternoon of “creation” which left us feeling quite proud of ourselves, that we stuck it out and completed the mosaic…and learned so much! The experience gave us an even greater appreciation of this art form which requires such focus and precision…and great patience!! (Ha!) It will dry, and we’ll be able to take it home to Florida! Thank you, Gaia, for this unique opportunity!

Such a beautiful activity do to in Rome! I booked this workshop as my mom's birthday gift and she loved it. The ladies who taught the course were skilled, patient and kind, they made the experience so much fun. They helped us make gorgeous pottery pieces that we're going to keep as a memento of such a special day. The techniques they showed us and helped us learn are going to be useful whenever we're going to work with clay again. It might seem a bit pricey but what you get out of the workshop is totally worth it in my opinion and I strongly recommend the experience!

The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and a very interesting person. It was a very hands on experience -- you really are rowing the boat yourself through the venetian canals. Loved it.

Derrick was an excellent host, warm and interesting. The artisans we visited were talented, inspiring and genuinely welcoming. We loved seeing their work spaces and watching things happen...we even had some hands on activities to try ourselves! Great fun, and really nice to see a part of the city with a reputation for creativity and art.

Denise was absolutely lovely: She spoke a perfect Spanish (as we requested), we made our creation step by step explained in a very clear manner. She made us coffee, laughed with us and shared part of her personal experience. It was a special occasion and I think she made her best.. thank you very much!

Learning how to shape raw clay, glaze and color it was so fun and therapeutic. Also meeting such lovely artisans, talking to them and learning about their experience added on to the charm of their pottery studio.

A truly unique experience while in Rome. Luisa and her colleagues were very kind and made it a special one. It was fascinating to learn from them about new pottery techniques.

A very very good experience and I’d do it again if I came to Rome❤️, The lady who teaches us pottery is very friendly.

The location was a little hard to find, but the experience was great. It was challenging and I enjoyed it. Left me with a very personal memory.

Julia was unreal, me and and my partner hannah enjoyed such a beautiful pottery making session with Julia who was a joy to be around and made the experience unforgettable with her knowledge, skill and friendliness. Would highly recommend for anyone seeking somthing a bit different whilst being in rome.

I took my mother in law and my 4 year old son to this clay making class and it was a blast. Patrick was our teacher and we instantly felt at home and welcome. We were served a delicious tea and taught step by step how to create some fun animals with clay. Patrick went above and beyond with my son encouraging him, making him laugh, and guiding him. My son loves art and since we are traveling have no art supplies, Patrick gave him a few things to take home so he could continue with his art. We are so happy to have made a new friend, and we can't wait to come back and enjoy another class!
