For you, this is the special pottery making ideas!


On a gorgeous morning following a good sleep after last night's cooking lesson I woke up at about 6 am and stepped out on the balcony of my hotel room. The sun was just coming up, and the sky was filled with shades of purple and pink. Far away I could see the outline of a strip of land: the Italian mainland, more precisely the Region of Calabria, was visible on this clear day for the first time. The aerial distance between Taormina and the southern tip of Italy is about 40 kilometres, and this sunrise view across the Ionian Sea was simply gorgeous.

Just before noon I had an opportunity to complete another interview: Alessandro, Babilonia's director, connected me with Donatella Rapisardi, a local Taormina based artist, who provides some of the pottery making ideas Decorating Classes for Babilonia students. For millennia, Sicily has been at the confluence of cultures: the Phonecians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Swebians, Spanish and French have all left their imprint in this culturally rich area, and pottery making ideas has been an important craft in Sicily for many centuries. I met Donatella at the local Hotel del Corso, right on Corso Umberto, where she offers pottery making ideas decorating classes on the rooftop terrace with a perfect view of the Palazzo del Duca Santo Stefano with Mount Etna as a backdrop. The weather was gorgeous, the sky was blue: I cannot imagine a more scenic location for pottery making ideas painting than Donatella's rooftop retreat.

She explained that the Pottery decorating lesson starts with plain terracotta pieces such as vases or tiles on which students apply the design they wish to paint. Two different types of processes are used for Pottery painting, Donatella explained in her machine gun Italian: "lavorare a freddo" means that the pieces are painted without firing them, and "lavorare a caldo" refers to painted pottery making ideas pieces that are fired in a kiln to preserve the painting.
