The highlight of our day!!! - Oh my! What a treat!!! This was the highlight of our day yesterday! Even my husband, who wasn't even all that interested in doing this activity absolutely LOVED it!!! The instructor was very welcoming and pleasant! My husband, being a college instructor, was very impressed with how clearly she explained things, speaking mostly in english while switching to her native tongue Italian from time to time. She was very patient and helped us while still allowing us to do most of the work ourselves! We can't say enough good things about this experience and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vietri Sul Mare!!!

Brilliant! - Pulcinella was brilliant. She took time to explain everything and help throughout our session. I went with my daughter and son (both 20+), and we had a great time learning how to use the wheel and model the clay. We were able to pay to have our pottery sent to the uk (€25). Pulcinella advised that she would be in touch via WhatsApp to organise this. Perfect addition to our stay 👌🏻

Worth it! - This was a great experience to make our own ceramic creation. My wife and I had a great time and learned a lot as we both had never done anything like it before. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful ceramics course - I took my sister to a pottery class as a birthday present. Editing the clay was difficult at first, but really nice. We got a good start with our instruction and got some nice vases made. I warmly recommend it to everyone.

Fun experience - The instructor was very nice. It was a quick one-hour lesson but seemed like a perfect amount of time to try out the pottery wheel. She was very patient and helpful. It was fun. It is right on the street with all the ceramic shops and restaurants. About a 20-minute walk from the ferry (uphill). She was very accommodating with us by changing our time by one hour as needed to make the ferry schedule. Highly recommend for a fun quick experience.
