In collaboration with the cultural association “Terra e Fuoco” in Ottiglio, Cascina rosa b&b offers to our guests a new experience focused on the art of the ceramic and pottery.
Terra e Fuoco is located in Ottiglio, few kilometers from Cascina rosa b&b; on request it is possible to visit the lab and the beautiful spaces carved in the typical stone named “tufo” or “pietra da cantone”: the “Infernot” and the old icehouse from late nineteenth century.
The cultural association offers to the Cascina rosa guests ceramic training courses, both for beginners and for people who had precedent experiences in the field.
