Little artisans will have the opportunity to discover the ancient art of pottery, crafting a small medieval-style vase with their own hands inside the evocative San Michele Castle. On a different day, they can head up to BoscoDerniga to plant a small seedling and take part in an outdoor nature activity.

The activity is divided into two distinct and complementary parts:

  • Part One (Tuesday afternoon): Inside San Michele Castle, where children will shape and decorate their vase.

  • Part Two (Friday afternoon): At Bosco Derniga, where the experience will be completed by planting a seedling inside the vase.

At the time of booking, you can choose whether to participate in both activities or just one of the two. We will provide the self-hardening clay for making the vase (with a drying time of approximately 24 hours) as well as all the necessary tools for shaping and crafting.

3 reason why

this experience is worth it

1
You will go on a unique journey that combines the charm of history with the beauty of nature: first, you will step into an artisan's shoes by shaping clay at the Castle, then you will bring your creation to life by planting a real flower at Bosco Derniga.
2
You will mold the clay to shape your very own medieval-style vase. It will be a magical experience that turns into a tangible souvenir of your holiday, to take home and watch grow day after day.
3
You will be in a historic location, the San Michele Castle in Ossana, a medieval manor dating back to the 13th century. Plus, you will also have the chance to visit the village of Ossana, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.
