Studio Pepa opens its doors for a ceramics course: immersed in a relaxed and bucolic place, we will learn together how to shape a cup.
Giorgia, founder of Studio Pepa will teach you the basic notions of manual modeling, the transformation of clay into ceramic, glazing and the different modeling techniques.
With our hands molding the clay, we let our creativity flow.
Before starting we will share a breakfast with vegan cakes and coffee or tea and, after the course, if the weather allows it, we'll take a walk in the park and cuddle the horses.
The cup will then be fired and glazed and it will be possible to collect it later at The Maptique office.
Giorgia, born in Syracuse, is a fashion photographer and a yoga and contortionism teacher. She lives in the countryside near the lake of Lecco/Como and creates ceramics by experimenting with wild land and wood-fired cooking methods. Inspired by the colonial and Mediterranean style that she constantly saw growing up, she chooses rustic and raw materials that bring out the natural characteristics of the piece.
Studio Pepa is located in Castello di Brianza, at the foot of the Regional Park of Curone and within the walls of Cascina Insiraga, an ancient Roman mill built between 1100 and 1300 AD. The banks of the Tortovalle stream - the natural property line - are rich in Wild Clay. In fact, the whole neighboring area has taken the name of "Fornace" because, since ancient times, there have always been numerous furnaces for cooking clay.
We create extraordinary, always different experiences for brands, companies, people and hotels.
