As La Meridiana has grown throughout the years, its goal has grown as well. One simple vision still remains, and that is to offer to our patrons a facility dedicated to a continual education in the ceramic arts and rich in Italian culture.

We would simultaneously like to provide a creative stimulus to modern ceramic artists in Italy. La Meridiana offers a unique setting for high quality learning experiences in a restored 15th century farmhouse, in the very centre of Tuscany.

Land of Etruscan and Roman cultures, Medieval architecture and Renaissance splendour. Our friendly hospitality, the studio time well blended with trips to local uncommon beautiful spots and a wealth of genuine food & wines will facilitate an unforgettable experience.

In providing this meeting ground of cultures, artists and entertainments our hope is to stimulate and develop artistic creativity in clay through a continuous exchange of ideas, skills, philosophies and techniques.
