The experience
Do you know that in Basilicata there is a particular village with an ancient tradition linked to ceramics? And did you know that this village has artisans who still today produce typical artifacts and export them worldwide?
Calvello is a beautiful village in the heart of Basilicata that, alongside the Multimedia Museum of Ceramics inside the Carafa-Ruffo Castle, also offers the opportunity to participate in educational workshops dedicated to this ancient craft. It’s possible to experience firsthand the world of ceramic craftsmanship guided by the skilled hands of master artisans.
In the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to learn not only how ceramic artifacts are made but also about the tools and various processing techniques involved.
It was nice to discover that in the past your grandfather used to drink from handmade ceramic glasses from Calvello, and that you can make them yourself now? Contact us!
