<\/em><\/h2>\nIt showed me how producing less, but better quality, is much more sustainable\u2026 I had the pleasure of meeting my teacher\u2019s maestro one day during my course. I realized how grateful I am that these traditional methods are being preserved through people who are concerned with less quantity and more quality\u2026It is an experience that has changed my life that I will hold dear to me always.\u2019\u2019<\/em><\/p>\nThom who booked our cooking experience in Sicily says:<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything about the course was amazing. I learned about so much more than bookbinding\u2026 Simonetta is truly gifted and wise.

We are excited to launch our new courses, experiences and retreats in 2024 . You will discover how taking on a creative endeavour can enrich and nourish the soul. In modern life, there is much that is easily within our reach. Have you noticed how blessed we are with an abundance of technological developments and information at our fingertips? But it is important to be reminded of the importance of real, authentic and tangible experiences.
