Italian courses in Florence
Firenze nell'Arte. Practical arts coursesIn the neighbourhoods of Santo Spirito and San Frediano art and artisan workshops still operate producing objects and artifacts which are the fruit of refined workmanship and techniques that have been handed down for centuries. In the interest of promoting this inheritance we are, in collaboration with Florentine artists and artisans, offering a vast range of courses which allow participants to learn or refine artistic techniques by working in direct contact with these professionals in their workshops.
Through this programme we hope to increase awareness of this fascinating reality: a productive and cultural presence that we believe an inheritance to all the world.
Our programme provides individual and group courses varying from one to six months. Days and hours involved will be arranged according to the reciprocal needs of both craftsmen and participants.
