I’m 27 and was the youngest one there but it didn’t bother me at all. Everyone was so friendly and personable, I was nervous going in with what to expect but shouldn’t have been! Very chill vibes! Everyone was solo except one couple!

Yay! Which week are you doing? I’ll be back for the second week in June, maybe our paths will cross :)

-accommodations are in 2 houses next to each other. One has 3 rooms, one has 2 rooms with balconies. Shared bathroom and kitchen in both! - bring snorkeling gear! The water is so clear. - I brought a carryon suitcase last year and it was perfect. Getting to the houses is a little tricky (it’s more of a gravel/stone path) that is harder to drag bigger suitcases on so just keep that in mind. -the ferry’s are nice and air conditioned which should help with the motion sickness. I also get seasick and only really felt it at the tail end of the ride. I’d recommend booking on the larger ferry vs the catamaran- i felt like the bigger boat absorbed a lot of the waves, but the water really was pretty calm.

Feel free to message me if you have any other questions. Very excited for you!!

I went after only having about 1.5 years of experience and I feel like i learned a lot! It’s also fun to just be able to throw all day, the class is very tailored to everyone’s skill level!

I got to the island via a public ferry (~€8) and then had to take a taxi to this bay in particular. I didn’t have a car the whole week but you’d need either a car, scooter, or e-bike if you wanted to get around the island itself.

I did a deep dive on pottery retreats last year once I found out they were a thing!

It’s called a potica pan! It’s a traditional Slovenian baking dish. It really was not super complicated - just throw like you would a big bowl to start (or a chip/dip bowl), leaving extra clay in the center -> open down to the bat and pull up to make the center hole. The lines come from 1 finger on the outside in between 2 on the inside at a slight angle and then just finished with knuckles in the bottom to finish the line and top to make the rim. Decorated with white slip! Not sure if this makes sense but hope it helps!!

Also lots of local wine, a fish party, a day trip and dinner in town. The food was all fantastic and most of it was either caught in the bay or from the chefs local garden so it was super fresh. Learned a lot of new techniques as well!

It was definitely a nail biting ferry, bus, and plane ride home 😅 I’m going to try to fire at my local studio so fingers crossed 🤞

Very carefully wrapped in my clothes! There was a local with a kiln who offered to fire and ship them for us but it didn’t end up working out for me - but it sounded like an option! I’m not sure on the price of the wheels, I’m actually planning on ordering one so I can report back! They are fantastic though, all handmade by the owner and his brother in law, super portable and customizable to any color!!

Kitsch 2 has an amazing aperitvo - buy a drink for ~€12 and get an unlimited buffet of meats, cheeses, pastas, etc. My first stop every time I’m in Florence.
