CERAMIC COURSES

Rosarja art workshop welcomes students to work, to create, to learn, to consult books and to share.

Lessons take place individually or in groups and address various topics like painting on canvas or wood, handling clay, firing, enamel and decoration with various techniques.

The setting of courses depends on the needs of the students.

The workshop is located on via Beato Angelico in the center of Orvieto, not far from the Faina Museum and the National Museum of Archeology. This allows me the opportunity to present paintings and ceramics of the territory.

My hope is that students who attend my workshop are enhanced by the knowledge of what our rich territory offers, and can use it in expressing their creativity.

I have created various courses on clay manipulation, decoration with glazes, crystalline, engobes and graffiti. My courses are available all year long and can be adapted according to the needs of those who are ready to give voice to their artistic inspiration, and above all discover the potential of a natural and ancient material that has always accompanied man on his life path, continuously renewing itself in its forms and contents, thanks to creative thinking and the magic of fire.

Choose the course that interests you the most, or you can contact me and we will create one tailor-made for you!

The workshop is composed of:

  • A large room suitable for hosting students (20/25 max). It is furnished with a large table and chairs and all the materials necessary for lessons and demonstrations. Within the same area there are also paintings, sculptures and various objects of my creation, to help with teaching, inspiration and are for sale.
  • A room where there is a kiln for ceramics, and shelving for storing objects waiting to be fired.
  • Office
  • Bathroom
