By taking part in the Puppet Workshop, you will have the opportunity to create your own customized puppet, immersing yourself in the craftsmanship and history of this art form. Not only will you shape your character, but you will also learn the skill of making him move, bringing the ancient tradition of Sicilian puppets to life.

By participating in the Ceramics Workshop you will immerse yourself in techniques passed down from generation to generation. You will be able to create your own personalized dish, the Sicilian pine cone, a symbol of prosperity and welcome, and learn the history of the traditional moro heads.
