The courses are held at the Art Point, a little craft workshop where ceramic objects are created and decorated.

The lessons, individual or in small groups (maximum 4 people), are given by qualified teachers, who furnish the basic theoretical and technical knowledge necessary for the painting of ceramic objects.

The students are guided and assisted by teachers in creating a decoration on a ceramic object of their choice (a vase, a plate), which they can keep at the end of the course.

Two different schedules of work.
