The clay handling is an activity with a strong narrative value, typical of the origins of the human culture and as so is proposed at this laboratory, as a process of rediscovering of an identity.
The recipe of the pottery art presents two different aspects, apparently contrasting. On one hand, thanks to the ductility of the clay, it can release the imagination of each one of us, even the most wild. On the other hand, it needs the strict respect of precise techniques and the right use of different tools (lancet, sculpting tools, lathe, cutter, ecc…). Only then, the product of one own fantasy can pass through the oven-test and become actual pottery, that is clay material handled and transformed through the fire.
Under the attention guide of the teacher Luca, realize with Terrarte your masterpiece!
The experience includes:
- Visit to the Terrarte laboratory.
- Participation to a brief pottery course. The course is divided in two phases: one theoretical, during which you will learn about the working and decoration technique of the pottery, and another practical, where you can try to decorate a wall plate, finishing with the glaze and the preparation for the cooking.
After 4 days, you can pick up the plate after the cooking at the lab, or we will provide the shipping with an agreed cost.
Come and visit the Oasi la Valle, a stop and nesting stage for thousands of birds along the main migratory routes! In its thousand hectares, thanks to its shallow waters and extensive reeds, the Oasis hosts over 200 species of birds throughout the year. Many of them stop to nest, others to overwinter, others just to stock up on food during the journey, so that each season of the year allows for different and interesting observations.
The Oasis is now a point of reference for the entire Trasimeno area, offering visitors the gateway to the ecosystem, nature, the lake landscape, to experience natural environments as places of concrete experiences.
The Oasis is equipped with two nature trails with 4 observatories that go into the reeds, an exhibition on the historical-naturalistic aspects of the Valley, an ancient emissary that can be partially walkable, 30 binoculars available to visitors for birdwatching and a bird ringing station.
The experience includes:
- introduction to the environment of Lake Trasimeno
- bird watching
- Scientific bird ringing
- Garden of the Water Lilies
Please note: at the time of booking it is also necessary to indicate the number of children from 0 to 6 years to avoid congestion problems.
