Creative Experience with clay in the Cilento National Park

About this tour

Spend a full day in Orria, a medieval hilltop village in Cilento National Park, working with clay whilst discovering the place's layered history. You'll shape ceramic pieces at a working studio, break bread with your host over lunch featuring local produce, then walk to Piano Vetrale to see the town's mural collection. The experience threads together craft, place, and genuine human connection across seven hours.

Highlights

• Hand-build ceramics under guidance in a working studio
• Share a family meal with regional Cilento specialities
• Picnic in an olive grove or village spot if weather permits
• Walk cobbled streets of an ancient stone village
• Explore Piano Vetrale's street art and murals

What to expect

You'll arrive in Orria to meet your host and begin with clay work—no prior experience needed. Expect to get your hands dirty as you shape and learn basic techniques. After a few hours, you'll pause for lunch together, either sitting down or spreading out a picnic of local cheese, cured meats, and produce depending on the weather. The afternoon takes you on foot through the village's narrow lanes and up to Piano Vetrale, where murals cover walls and buildings. It's a gentle pace, mixing creative work with walking and eating, designed to let the place itself become part of the day.
