CONVIVIUM – Experiential Workshop at Museo Carlo Zauli
On the occasion of Buongiorno Ceramica and the finissage of the exhibition “Alchemies in Ceramics”, the Museo Carlo Zauli hosts the experiential workshop CONVIVIUM, curated by artist Shilha Cintelli.
Date: Sunday, May 24
Time: 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Location: Museo Carlo Zauli
An experience between art, matter and food
The workshop offers a collective experience based on slow gestures, transformation, and sharing, through the technique of clay crust firing, using clay from the “calanchi” (clay gullies), a symbolic material of the Faenza landscape.
An ancient practice that becomes a contemporary journey through art, matter, and food-related dimensions, where the creative process intertwines with participation and human connection.

The initiative is organized in collaboration with AiCC and under the patronage of the Municipality of Montelupo Fiorentino.
