What you'll do

Discover pottery through a holistic, One-on-One Journey with Federica

at Topopatu Terracotta Studio.

Curious about working with clay? This one-hour session is a perfect way to get a feel for it. It’s relaxed, fun, and gives you a hands-on introduction to basic techniques.

Want to go deeper or explore something specific? Let me know in advance — we can shape the session around your interests, with a custom theme or focus prepared just for you.

Whether you’re touching clay for the first time or seeking to deepen your practice, this one-on-one class is an invitation to explore pottery with presence, curiosity, and intention.

This experience nurtures the connection between mind, body, and creativity. We believe that when these elements come into harmony, the act of creation becomes not only powerful—but transformative.

Or you are:

Feeling disconnected, creatively blocked, or longing to reconnect with yourself?In a fast-moving world, it’s easy to lose touch with your inner rhythm — your creative essence that seeks calm, balance, and expression.

Through clay, we return to stillness.

There are moments when we long to slow down —to listen, to breathe, to feel our hands shape something real again. Clay has a quiet way of guiding us there.

From December to April, the studio opens its doors for 1:1 ceramic sessions —a warm, peaceful space surrounded by nature, where you can reconnect with yourself through mindful creation.

Each session (choose 1 hour or 2 hours) is a personal journey into presence.

In this meditative practice, you’ll be gently guided to reconnect with your hands, your breath, and your creative flow.Working with clay is a living dialogue — it responds to your energy, your patience, your presence.

Together, we’ll explore:

* Releasing perfectionism and embracing process

* Cultivating self-discipline through mindful creation

* Unlocking your personal style and creative language

* Learning to listen — to clay, to silence, to yourself

Each session shapes more than clay — it shapes awareness.Leave with more than a handmade piece; leave with a renewed sense of connection, clarity, and creative peace.

At Topopatu Terracotta Studio, we offer a space where creativity unfolds naturally—without pressure, without judgment, and with a deep respect for your unique path.

Women-owned

My name is Federica, and I am an artist and ceramic teacher, passionately dedicated to the world of clay and its endless possibilities. My journey with this remarkable medium began two decades ago, and throughout these years, it has flourished and transformed in ways I could never have anticipated.

Growing up amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Australia, I developed a profound connection with nature, an influence that has continuously guided my artistic expression. This bond allows me to immerse myself in earthy forms, organic colours, and rich textures, all of which are beautifully represented in my work.

I completed my studies in Italy, where I was born, specializing in decorative techniques on clay, which served as a solid foundation for my craft. However, it wasn't until I moved to Australia that I truly discovered my authentic artistic self in an unexpected and beautiful way. The vibrant surroundings and diverse culture sparked new inspiration within me, encouraging me to explore the intricacies of clay art on a deeper level.

As a ceramic teacher, I find immense joy in connecting with my students. Sharing my passion for clay with them feels like a sacred exchange, where I get to witness the unfolding of their hidden talents as they embark on their own creative journeys. I firmly believe that each individual harbours an untapped reservoir of creativity waiting to be discovered, and it is during the artistic process that this latent potential emerges in the most delightful ways.

All we need to do is venture forth, embrace our curiosity, and observe the magic that materializes in the dance between hands, clay, and imagination. Every class becomes an adventure, a collaborative exploration of the self, and it fills my heart with gratitude to be a part of this transformative experience.
