Earth Day April 22

I’ll take care of you

ceramic workshop

April 22nd from 10:00 to 12:30

Established in 1970, the Earth Day celebrates the commitment and safeguard towards the protection of life and the conservation of natural resources.

This important event reminds us of the importance of preserving the environment for future generations. The impact of human activities has accelerated the processes of deterioration, leading to the extinction not only of numerous animal species but also of plants and flowers around the world.

With the aim of promoting a symbolic gesture of care and protection towards nature, the department offers a workshop dedicated to adults. During the appointment, participants will be guided in the creation of a unique vase, specifically designed to house a plant.

The vase, made of clay, can be shaped and decorated according to the participants’ wishes. At everyone’s discretion, the artefact can be fired to become a real clay vase or left intact, becoming part of the life cycle of the plant. If the latter is chosen and placed in open ground, the pot will slowly melt, transforming into fertile soil which will nourish the plant itself. This symbolic cycle represents our commitment to a more harmonious and sustainable relationship with nature.

Cost of the workshop: €5

Max 10 participants
