There’s a quiet creative revolution happening worldwide, and Lake Como is no exception — it’s made of clay, fire, and inner-child joy. From boutique shelves to social workshops, ceramics are having a moment, bringing together trends and tradition, artistic expression and everyday functionality.
Get your hands dirty (literally) with a pottery class or take home some meaningful souvenir: Lake Como is certainly a quite interesting spot to experience the ceramic wave.
New handcrafted ceramics at Varenna Holidays Boutique
We’re excited to introduce a brand-new collection of handmade ceramic pieces by Myuras Studio, now available at the Varenna Holidays Boutique. Made from durable stoneware, these ceramics will enrich your home, evoking Lake Como’s beauty and artisan spirit. These ceramics bring together the natural tones of the Lake, the warmth of local hands, and the elegance of Italian design.
Being handmade, each piece is literally unique, and the collection is produced in small quantities, making it all the more special.
Create your own ceramic piece: the pottery experience in Varenna
If simply buying isn’t enough and you want to experience the magic of ceramics from the inside, you can join our pottery wheel class, held by a local artist whose creations are also hosted in our Boutique. In this hands-on experience, you’ll learn the basics of turning clay on the wheel and shaping your own object—no experience required.
Guided step by step, you’ll work in a relaxed, welcoming environment where you can slow down, connect with the material, and feel the meditative rhythm of the creative process. It’s an experience that blends focus, play, and self-expression—ideal for couples, friends, or anyone curious to try something new while staying on Lake Como.
Ceramics are proving that even a simple bowl can carry the soul of a place. Visit the Varenna Holidays Boutique to explore the collection, or join a class to shape your own memory of the Lake!
