Milan is a city full of life, always full of events and opportunities to make new friends. Among the most interesting new events is Aperi Paint Soyaria, an event that combines the art of ceramics with the pleasure of an aperitif. But what exactly is it? And why is it becoming so popular among those looking for an original way to spend their free time and meet new people?
What is Aperi Paint Soyaria?
Aperi Paint Soyaria is a ceramic cookie painting workshop, made completely by hand using the pinch technique. During the event, you will decorate a handmade ceramic piece, choosing from a mug or a plate. And while you work on your handmade masterpiece, you can sip on your favorite drink.
You don’t have to worry about bringing anything: all materials, including professional ceramic brushes and colors, are provided by the organizers.
How it works.
The workshop takes place in a cozy and relaxing atmosphere, with soft lighting that encourages creativity and socialization.
You begin by choosing a cup or saucer from the counter. With a pencil you can make a sketch of the design to avoid mistakes with the colors, and once you are satisfied with the sketch, you choose the colors you prefer and start painting. When you finish painting, leave a name tag with your name on the pottery, which will then be fired.
After a few weeks, your decorated piece will be ready to be picked up or shipped home, if you prefer.

How did Soyaria and its Aperi Paint come about?
Soyaria was born from the shared dream of two brothers, Bilend and Suela, who have always had a passion for crafts, inherited from their mother. Having moved to Italy from Macedonia in 2002, their family has always cultivated a love for handmade things.
During the pandemic, Bilend, who lived abroad, and Suela, who remained in Italy, decided it was the right time to join forces and create something together. Suela, with her passion for aesthetics and design, handles the graphic and social media side, while Bilend, with a background in economics, handles the operational side.
Despite the challenges, their adventure has been rewarding, especially in seeing the joy of customers when they receive their packages.
We started out as a brand of funky handmade pottery, so all of it is completely handmade and hand-painted. We always receive different orders and often with different customizations as well. So we thought it would be nice to give people a chance to paint their own mugs, hence the idea of Aperi Paint. Many people started coming to decorate a mug for themselves or for their boyfriend, mom or dad. Many girls, on the other hand, come simply to treat themselves to a different evening and maybe meet a new friend
Soyaria is thus the result of a fraternal dream, fueled by a love of crafts and a desire to create something special together, that meets people’s need to socialize and spend a different evening together than usual.
An experience not to be missed to make new friends and relax after work
Aperi Paint Soyaria is more than just a pottery painting workshop: it is an innovative way to socialize in Milan, combining art and conviviality. Whether you are a ceramics expert or a beginner, this event offers you the opportunity to express your creativity, make new friends and enjoy an aperitivo in a unique atmosphere.
