• MERANIA Ceramic Manufacture - This workshop offers a unique experience in RAŠA, a quaint mining town located 4km from Labin. Participants will witness the entire ceramic production process, including material selection, handbuilding, molding, handthrowing, glazing, painting, and firing.

The workshop runs from 9:30 to 11:30, where attendees will learn the fundamentals of materials, handbuilding techniques, and pottery wheel throwing under the guidance of mentors Masimo or Piero from the Merania family ceramic manufacture. Initially, they will demonstrate how to throw simple and traditional forms, such as the bukaleta (a traditional wine jug). Participants will then have the opportunity to work on their own wheel with a small amount of clay. The mentors will assist and guide them in creating a few forms of their choice. Following the throwing session, handbuilding techniques without the pottery wheel will be demonstrated. Participants can take home the clay products they create, although they are not fired and can break easily. These clay products will transform into ceramic products after firing, which occurs 1-2 weeks post-production. We can arrange to send these finished products to you, with additional shipping costs.
