The ecovillage is once again hosting a series of intensive workshops on clay work.
As every summer, the courses take place in small groups, with accommodation and half board included — a way to spend a few days at Torri and bring home a new skill.
The first workshop is at the end of May.
TERRA CHE GIRA! — Intensive wheel throwing workshop

Three days focused on the basic techniques of wheel throwing, suitable for those approaching the wheel for the first time and for those who want to refine their skills or work on more complex projects. Groups of minimum 3, maximum 5 participants.
Early bird rates are already available for the summer courses.
ARGILLANONSTOP! The secrets of the wheel

I COLORI DELLA TERRA
3 › 8 August 2026 | with Marilia Nogueira
A workshop working with clays of different colours and natural materials, starting from the observation of forms and the possibilities offered by the matter. Suitable for beginners and those who want to deepen their practice.
FORME ESSENZIALI E SCULTOREE
10 › 15 August 2026 | with Silvana Li Pira
Wheel throwing and hand building come together in a process centred on design thinking. Participants will experiment with essential and sculptural forms, textures, neriage and paperclay.
NATURA NEL COCCIO
17 › 22 August 2026 | with Paola Ceriotti
Wheel throwing and decoration using natural tools and materials. The course moves from the cylinder towards more complex forms, with particular attention to the functionality of the objects: thickness, shape and dimensions conceived to balance aesthetics and everyday use.
