Comprehensive workshops focused on ceramics, painting, creativity and creative writing among other crafts.

Our studio, spanning two levels of 120 m2 each, features a ceramics studio on the top floor and a painting and crafting studio on the bottom level. Both spaces are large and pleasant, with good light. The bottom level opens up to a spacious courtyard adjacent to pistachio fields, featuring a beautiful 6m diameter & 3m height yurt, which offers additional workspace or relaxation area.
