Shaping among Olive Trees

Description

Dive into authentic Andalusia with 'Modeling between Olivos'. Experience with your own hands the ceramic of Arjonilla (Jaén), a protected tradition. In our experiences, from 2 hours to 6 days immersions, you will learn to work the mud and discover the local and regional culture of the hand of a potter and a tourist guide in a beautiful environment surrounded by olive trees.

Would you like to feel the magic of a ceramic craftsman's workshop and know first hand how to make their pieces? You want to know what it feels like to play and work the clay?

Do you want to disconnect with your family or friends, or meet new people and create objects with your own hands, experiencing the artisan ceramics in a charming Andalusian village?

Modeling among olive trees is a proposal of creative and cultural experiences that will allow you to know the culture of Jaén and Andalusia in an immersive and authentic way. A dream come true that is born of the concerns of a potter and a tourist guide that open the doors of his house in Arjonilla, a charming little town surrounded by olive trees.

The ceramic in Arjonilla, located in the province of Jaén, has roots that extend until more than 4000 years ago. This small Andalusian corner is home to a rich pottery tradition, which is recognized and protected today as Good of Cultural Interest. We invite you to discover the culture of Jaén from another perspective, through the ceramics.

It is important for us not only to transmit the knowledge related to ceramics, but also to make our culture and our way of life known. Therefore, our groups are very small, of up to 4 or 5 people, in order to be able to have a very close treatment.

In our more than a day's courses, our students are our guests; that is, if you do one of our courses, we invite you to live with us in our home, as if you were one of the family. Sharing time and space with indigenous people, living in the house of a craftsman and artist is a unique and incredibly enriching experience.

Our workshop is a space full of creativity where we share the art of ceramics with all of you. Here, each molded piece is not only ceramic, but a history of tradition and art.

From the first time you touch the mud until the moment your piece comes out of the oven, every step is an adventure. Here you dive into a world where your hands are the protagonists, creating beauty and functionality.

This place is not just a workshop: it is a meeting point for ceramic lovers, for those who seek to (re) connect with their interior and for all people who want to learn and grow. Each session is an opportunity to explore, to relax and, above all, to enjoy the art in its purest form.
