Get your hands stuck into some traditionally made Almerian clay, widely acknowledged to be the best in the World.

Lose yourself having fun making and painting pottery in the rarely opened old olive press at this pottery workshop delivered by the current pottery owners, the fifth generation (at least) of potters to keep the alfareria (pottery) thriving.

This fully guided event includes:

all materials (paint, tools, clay);
pottery painting;
a turn on the wheel creating your own ‘masterpiece’;
take home what you make (see below re collection day);
drinks and tapas;
commentary on the history of the area, and an optional short walk around the area;
translation services;
optional additional collection day: collect your finished piece(s) with your fellow aspiring potters, fired (baked) and ready to take home. Over a drink with your fellow 'potters', of course!
