The setting for this experience is CilentoLab, an artistic pottery workshop located in Orria, a village nestled in the Cilento National Park. With its ancient cobblestone streets, characteristic stone buildings, and charming historical atmosphere, Orria offers a unique and fascinating setting. Exploring this village is a journey back in time, enriched by its authenticity and the beauty of its views.

To access CilentoLab, one descends an ancient staircase to a place that was once the town's bakery. The interior is cozy and atmospheric because it has preserved the stone walls and has the charm of a new-generation art workshop. In autumn and winter, we use the large table in the entrance hall to realize this experience, In spring and summer we use the garden and the experience is enriched with the excitement of the sunset with Capri sullo background.

Orria is located 25 minutes from Agropoli, 12 minutes from the Omignano Scalo exit on the road from Agropoli to Sapri, 12 minutes from Omignano Scalo station, and 16 minutes from Vallo Scalo - Castelnuovo station.

🎨 During ARTCaffè, you can:

• Visit the CilentoLab Ceramics Workshop
• choose a ceramic piece to decorate
• paint in peace, without rushing

We will provide you with:

• materials and colors
• basic instructions
• support during the activity

It is an experience suitable for adults, families, and children.

Why is this experience useful?

ARTCaffè is useful because it allows you to truly pause.
Painting ceramics helps you slow down, quiet your mind, and regain focus and calm, even if only for an hour.

Do you need to know how to paint or have experience?

ARTCaffè is a creative experience accessible to everyone.
It is not a lesson and there is no “right” result: it is the process that counts, not skill.

Is it a relaxing activity?

The combination of manual skills, colors, slow pace, and natural surroundings makes ARTCaffè a relaxing and rejuvenating activity, also suitable for those who feel stressed or mentally tired.

Is it also suitable for sharing with others?

Absolutely yes.
ARTCaffè is ideal for enjoying:

with friends

with the family

with your son/daughter

or alone

Doing something together, without screens and without rushing, improves the quality of the time spent together.

Why do it in Cilento?

Because context makes all the difference.
Being in a small village in the Cilento National Park, surrounded by nature, helps you breathe better and amplifies the sense of pause and presence.

The location is an integral part of the experience.

What remains after the experience?

In addition to your ceramic piece, the following remains:

a tangible memory

a feeling of well-being

the awareness that you can easily devote time to yourself

If you come from the beach or the mountains, we recommend a short walk to Piano Vetrale, only 4 km from Orria. Famous for being the birthplace of renowned painter Paolo De Matteis, Piano Vetrale welcomes visitors with its vibrant artistic tradition and several dozen murals decorating its streets, turning it into a fascinating open-air museum. An ideal place for a peaceful stroll, where you can immerse yourself in its colors and charming narrow streets before arriving in Orria at the ARTBAR for your PAINT CERAMICS experience in Cilento.

● Orria, located 540 meters above sea level, may be cooler than the coast. We recommend that you bring an extra sweater with you.

● ceramic semi-finished products

● ceramic pigments

● apron

● tools (mirettes, sponges, brushes, books, and pictures to consult...)

● the eventual shipment of the part

● more expensive semi-finished products

● glazing and firing to finish the piece.

● Bar service is provided by LACROIX, the coffee bar adjacent to CilentoLab, and is paid directly to them.

Of course, it is a nice activity to do as a family.

CilentoLab also organizes customized courses upon request.

Of course. All if interested will have to recover their work after the experience because each piece must be glazed and fired.

We will agree on the different arrangements at the end of the course.
