LAS MECIAS, ALPUJARRA GRANADA

WILD CLAY + WOOD FIRING

SPECIALIZED WILD CLAY COURSE

In this ceramics retreat with wild clays, you will not only learn how to identify, collect, and prepare natural clays, but also discover how to transform them into unique pieces.

Over four days, at Granja Las Mecías in the Alpujarra of Granada, we’ll experience the complete ceramics process from start to finish — from earth to fire — culminating in a wood firing in a temporary kiln under the stars.

By the end, you’ll take home a fired piece made from your own clay, along with a practical guide covering everything you’ve learned, so you can continue exploring and creating with local materials wherever you are.

LAS MECIAS MEALS + ACCOMMODATION

Laura and Nina are the founders of Las Mecías, a retreat in the Alpujarra of Granada (Cástaras), where life is enjoyed without rush, and the land, the kitchen, and the people come together in harmony.

Here, every meal is a ritual of care: freshly baked bread, fruits picked from the trees, and dishes prepared with attention and respect for the ingredients. The table becomes the heart of the retreat, a space to share, nourish, and reconnect. Everything is designed so that the body can rest, the mind can open, and the soul feels at home, because self-care begins with what we put on our plate.

No, it’s not necessary. This course is designed so that anyone can enjoy it and get the most out of it, regardless of their level or previous experience. We will work with clay collected from the area, but you will learn to identify any type of clay, understand its characteristics, and know how to find and use clay wherever you are. We will cover some technical concepts, but in a clear and practical way, and once we move on to the hands-on part, all the knowledge will become natural and easy to apply.

To sign up, visit the Granja Las Mecias website and go to their online store. There, you can select the option that suits you best and complete the purchase to secure your registration. It’s a quick and simple process that guarantees your spot immediately.
