kids
The Museum hosts the laboratory “Giocare con la Ceramica” (Play with Clay) in which playing is the starting point for getting to grips with the technique and history of ceramics, developing manual dexterity and freeing the imagination.
A multidisciplinary approach is proposed to schools of all levels – from pre-school to secondary and university: guided tours, workshops to learn the history and technique of ceramics and make connections with other disciplines, with the possibility, on request, of organising the workshops directly in the classroom with an operator.
