Artisan Creative Retreat | Ceramics in Italy
Hosted by Omanit
Omanit Flow retreats are founded on one principle: slow down by making something imperfect with your hands. This women only, artisan-led creative retreat focuses on fratte rosa clay only found in Marche, Italy. The week is centered around the people, the place and the land. Guests are treated to a 3-day immersive workshop by local ceramists, local excursions, a private chef, exclusive use manor with luxury accommodations and plenty of time to relax by the pool. All you need to do is arrive.
