The studio is near to the Medieval Road which connects the town to the Castle of Exombourgo, today used as a donkey and footpath. An excellent starting point for trekkers.
The studio was founded in 1982 as a base for the sculptress Margarita Delatola-Aicher who was later joined by Bernhard Aicher in 1986, an experienced ceramic teacher.
