WHAT DO THEY SAY ABOUT US?

Dunia H

"Getting away from my routine was a fantastic experience: Miguel Ángel is a very competent and patient teacher and Inma is charming and gives great recommendations. The house is very comfortable and the activities they offer are varied and quite interesting for getting to know the area and its history. I would recommend the experience, no question."

Vanessa Mena

"A wonderful experience, different from anything else. Inma and Miguel Ángel make you feel at home from day one. I really enjoyed working with ceramics, especially with the pottery wheel. I had never used one before but Miguel Ángel explains it very well and enables you to connect immediately with this ancient and very relaxing art, in addition to being in a beautiful natural environment. I’m sure I will come again."

Beatriz Sánchez

"What a great experience! Miguel Ángel is an artist, and more importantly he is able to transmit the love he puts into his work. He is patient and ready to share his knowledge. I had a great time in the workshop, from getting the feel of the clay to decorating the pieces, a real pleasure. The setting is also spectacular, and the place invites you to enjoy nature and the craft with all five senses. I will be back, without a doubt!”

Sonia Donaire

"More than just pottery classes, a very pleasing experience. Miguel Ángel explains everything you need to know about this art while he lets you develop your creativity. Moreover, it is a magical place, with beautiful views. Miguel and Inma make you feel at home; charming, generous and wonderful hosts"

"A unique and unforgettable experience. We did a ceramics workshop with the kids, they adapted it to them and they really enjoyed it a lot. They were very attentive and thoughtful at all times, I recommend it 100%!"

María Jesús Torrús

"The workshop I did at Modelando entre Olivos was incredible! The atmosphere, the place, the way of teaching and communicating..., Miguel Ángel and Inma are the best hosts and crafters!!!! I left the place feeling very relaxed and peaceful. It is well worth spending some time at Modelando entre Olivos"

María Marta Mollo

"It was beautiful: the experience, the surroundings, the views, Inma and Miguel Ángel’s hospitality. I had never done pottery before and it was therapeutic; the morning went by without me realizing it. I've learned, I've enjoyed myself, I've relaxed and in a few weeks I'll also have my finished pieces as a souvenir. Highly recommended!"

“We shared the experience of a weekend with Inma and Miguel Ángel, learning to make pottery among olive trees and getting to know a little bit more about the culture of the villages of Jaén, more specifically Arjonilla. Unquestionably a very satisfying experience and 100% recommendable, they make a great team!”

Blas Medina@username

“An unforgettable experience in an incomparable setting, in the hands of Inma and Miguel Ángel. Their kindness, the affection with which they explain the different pottery-making processes, the relaxing music, and the full concentration on the manual work, succeed in banishing any worries. Altogether recommendable.”

"It was a very enriching experience, both because of living with Inma and Miguel Ángel and because of learning all about the art of ceramics. They are great hosts and make you feel at home. It is a pleasure to learn from Miguel Ángel, he makes the hours in the workshop very entertaining and dynamic. I will definitely repeat the experience."
