SCHIACCIATO workshop

April 18 at 10:15 a.m.
Oblate Library veranda

Materials included

Ever wondered how the famous Florentine schiacciato technique was born?

In this workshop, you’ll get a simple, hands-on introduction and try it for yourself.
We’ll sculpt a small bas-relief using air-dry clay, focusing on subtle depth and form.

By the end, we’ll turn your piece into a magnet — a small, handmade memory you can take home with you.

All of this happens in a warm, relaxed atmosphere — with coffee, conversation, and time to enjoy the process.

Duration 3 - 3,5 hours

Cursed Bestiary Workshop

May 23  (Saturday)  at 10:15 a.m.
Oblate Library veranda

Materials included

Step into the strange and fascinating world of medieval imagination — a time when lions looked like dogs, proportions were negotiable, and every creature seemed to carry a story no one could fully explain.

In this workshop, you’ll sculpt your own “cursed” creature inspired by the bizarre animals found in historical manuscripts. Working with air-dry clay, you’ll build a simple armature and bring your sculpture to life in three dimensions — embracing distortion, character, and creative freedom along the way.

This is not about perfect anatomy or technical precision. It’s about intuition, humor, and the joy of making something beautifully strange with your own hands.

Duration 3 - 3,5 hours

ART picnic

April 26 (Sunday) at 3:00 PM
Stibbert Museum Park

Materials included

This workshop is about learning to see the world like an artist. We’ll explore Florence’s hidden gems

— beautiful parks and gardens.

You’ll try different materials — pencils, markers, watercolor, crayons

 and start drawing right away, even if you’ve never done it before.

By the end, you’ll have your own small sketchbook filled with quick, honest sketches —

your personal view of Florence.

It’s a few hours to step out of your routine, be outside, meet like-minded people, and enjoy the process.

Duration 2-3 hours

ART picnic

May 17 (Sunday) at 5:00 PM

Giardino delle Rose

Materials included

Summer is arriving in Italy — and we’re getting ready for the heat by painting our own fans.

Join us for a picnic in the Rose Garden next to Piazzale Michelangelo, with a panoramic view over Florence.

You’ll decorate your own hand fan using markers and create something you’ll actually want to keep.

No experience needed — you’ll jump right in and enjoy the process from the start.

Let's spent a few hours outdoors with food, conversation, and a relaxed creative atmosphere.

By the end, you’ll leave with a hand-painted fan — a beautiful and practical object, and your own little memory of Florence.
