Antonio Davide, an artist with an international exposure, opens the spring season with a course on terracotta pottery creation in Valdambra, Tuscany.

We spoke about Antonio Davide when the opening of his atelier in Tuscany was announced late last year.

The course is on terracotta sculpting and vase creating. Participation is in limited numbers.

The course is an exercise conciliating the body and the mind: the creation of a vase with bare hands as a means to express ones creativity – the opportunity to discover the pleasure of making things with our hands like our ancestors.

A unique experience in the heart of Tuscany, the opportunity to discover the creative side in your character you may not have known existed, the chance to learn more about yourself and your inner child .
