What you can expect

Kick off your Matera experience crafting a traditional “cucù” in our unique workshop, immersing yourself in pottery traditions. Here, you'll take centre stage in crafting a traditional Materan “cucù” (cuckoo), immersing yourself in the age-old secrets of pottery making.
Under the expert guidance of a renowned Master Artisan, you'll discover the different clay techniques needed to bring your cucù to life. Learn the fascinating process of creating single-tone, two-tone, and even playful water whistles.
From raw clay to the final form, you'll follow each step, learning and experimenting with the traditional methods passed down through generations of local experts right here in Matera.
Once your unique cucù is complete, it will be carefully fired in the kiln, ensuring it becomes a lasting memento of your time in Matera, which can be collected on the arranged day, or let us carefully send it to you.
