Enamelled lava workshop, the art of magnifying volcanic stone
Discover the fascinating world of lava enameling with Anna Kappler, France’s youngest graduate in this exceptional art. Lava enameling is an artistic technique that involves applying enamel to a lava surface, usually volcanic stones or enameled lava from volcanic regions.
During this unique two-hour initiation, you’ll have the opportunity to bring your creative ideas to life by enameling a 12×12 cm stone with the design of your choice. Whether to decorate your home, personalize your house number or add an artistic touch to your kitchen as a trivet, this experience will enable you to create unique and meaningful pieces.
Anna will guide each participant through the essential steps of lava enameling. She’ll take charge of the meticulous preparation of the lava surface, revealing the secrets of this natural canvas, while introducing everyone to the expert preparation of the enamel. Give free rein to your creativity! Anna will guide you in choosing the design and enamels that will bring your artistic vision to life.
Due to the need for a 960°C firing to permanently seal the glaze, participants will not be able to take their creation home immediately. Please be patient, as the final result, bursting with vibrant colors, will be obtained after a passage through the specialized kiln.
Your artistic creation will then be handed over to you, either on site or delivered to your home, whichever you prefer!

L'atelier d'Annanas
The workshop of a lava enameller is a unique place, surrounded by the rock of the Auvergne volcanoes. Thanks to the art of fire, these stones are magnified by the colored glass that the craftswoman brushes on with all her knowledge. Plunge into the heart of this experience, and become an apprentice enameller for a few hours. Once the lava slabs have been fired, you’ll be able to take them home and proudly present them to your friends and family, introducing yourself as an initiate in enamelled lava, a rare yet beautiful and useful craft.
