We adored the bobbin lace lessons! It was so special to learn this beautiful craftsmanship and we feel we were able to grasp it relatively quickly. Everyone was so lovely and it was such a beautiful place to work.

My sister and I will definitely be in touch to organise more sessions.

Thank you again.

We retruned from Sicily back to our normal lifes and forgot to send you our feed back.

We want to say to you that we had a incredible experience with our classes with Sebastiano, an incredible artist and person that inspired us to chalenge our knowledge and produce beautiful pices and deeply connect with the sicily pottery .

The entire experience was amazing, he welcomed us incredibly well and helped us with everything and worked really hard after the course to finish our pieces for us to be able to bring it with us.

Hi Laura,

Thank you so much for organizing the glass blowing course and for navigating all the challenges that came with it. I truly appreciate the effort and care you put into making this happen.

It was, without doubt, one of the most enriching weeks of learning I have experienced. I enjoyed every single minute of it and honestly found myself wishing I had stayed on for at least one more week. The entire process was fascinating from start to finish.

Thank you! Shoba

Hi Laura-

I really enjoyed the course with Annette! She was patient and very easy to talk to. She showed me a lot and I never knew how patient one needs to be with glassworks!

The course did meet my expectations, it was pricey, as I am finding most things in Europe!! I am glad I took it and met Annette!

Thanks-Sheri

The artisans Valeria and Emanuela were very skilled in their craft and had an excellent ability to guide us to create an appropriate project that we were very happy and proud to have made. Although I acquired many skills in sewing, needlework and knowledge of textiles, I would come again to create another piece to once again have access to the artistic process, the antique textiles available to us and be tutored by Valeria and Emanuela.

The arrangements by Laura all added to the experience as the hotel was in a brilliant location by the sea and an enjoyable tree lined walk to the workshop in central Ancona.

I think the misunderstanding was more my expectation of a throwing instruction week..working on the wheel and excercising. But as I said in the end I did quite a lot of exercising as Sebastiano kindly let me use his wheel as much as I wanted! Anna and Sebastiano both lovely people.

It was wonderful and thank you again for taking care of many things for me!

Retreat with Artisan Ceramic - Santo Stefano di Camastra

Hi Laura

The artisans were both very talented and well prepared. Since the first moment we started to work and every day (only 3hours) were very productive. I was very impressed about the results in only a few days. At a personal level it was very enriching due to the hospitality and generosity of the sicilians. I very satisfied with the experience!

Hi Laura-

I was SO HAPPY with this experience. I got along beautifully with both teachers, learned so much, loved the environment of learning, really learned so much. When people have asked me how I was able to connect with the teachers I tell them about your business and everyone agrees its an amazing service that we wish existed all over the world. Thank you for being so accommodating and patient with me as we worked out the details. I absolutely recommend working with you and with the teachers I had. Thank you!! Caitlin
