Deruta Ceramics – the Potter’s Wheel and Painting Workshop
The mastery with which the professional artists of the Deruta ceramics companies paint the hand-made maiolica dishes, vases and small sweet-boxes is truly amazing. You’ll see the master painters at work and will have the chance to create and paint your very own artistic artefact. The art of sculpture and painting involved in Deruta maiolica has its roots in bygone centuries, when the area was the fulcrum of Umbria’s immense passion and talent for craftsmanship. This ancient art has been handed down from father to son for centuries, and it is increasingly difficult to find a true professional in the sector. The workshop will begin with a theoretical explanation of the sculpting techniques created on the potter’s wheel and of the drawing and painting on the glazed and non-glazed surfaces, with a little explanation of the pigments used and the most common themes. Then there will be a practical demonstration of what was previously explained; with the help of the master artist you will be able to create and paint your very own artefact. You will also have the opportunity to take your piece home with you or buy an object of your choice by visiting the company showroom where real works of mastery and authenticity are displayed.
