HOW THE EXPERIENCE WILL BE

Urbino, thanks to the findings during the excavations in the vaults of the throne's hall at the Doge's Palace, have come to life amazing material testimonies of the food habits and life at the Court of Urbino. Specifically, they are objects of the modest and domestic everyday life of the servitude. You can find dishes, artworks (decorated majolica, etc) and historical documents.
We'll analyze photos and documents of these pottery evidences representing the life occurring at the Court of Federico from Montefeltro. We'll reproduce them on a plate with a decorative drawing with geometrical motives. Starting from a central round depicting animals (bird, snail, deer, lynx) or symbols (closed volume, pierced heart, title block). You'll get to know the techniques to decorate majolica and the particularity of the “geometric” technique. Finally your artwork will be fired, and I will send it to you directly home.
Once the experience is over, I strongly suggest you to visit the wonderful Urbino, that is 20 minutes drive from my town.

WORKSHOP

REPRODUCTION OF A FRESCO

Linda, majolica decorator

150

What I want to offer is not just a decorative experience, but also a historical and cultural one. With the help and the experience of my friend Agata, you will visit two important historic churches in Cagli. Thanks to her knowledge you will see some medieval fresco. St. Joseph Church with the XIV century fresco representing the “Madonna del Latte”. St. Francis with the fresco of Mello from Gubbio. After a brief but intense visit to the churches, we will reproduce, on a majolica refractory tile, a detail of the fresco saw previously. We will analyze the detail to be drawn through the pouncing technique. We will use the “half dye” for the shades of the ruddiness. You will get to know the main characteristic of the brushes and of the majolica's colors. Until the cooking of the object. The workshop is thought for all those people interested in knowing and experiencing the majolica's art through the culture of the artworks that characterize my precious territory.

WORKSHOP

FIRST STEPS TOWARD MINIATURE

Anna, miniature and typography

96

In the wake of ancient amanuensis, the gestures of calligraphers and miniaturists are living again. In the XIII century they gave life to flourishing and eminent “Scriptorum” in Gubbio. It stands out the figure of Oderisi, narrated by Dante in The Divine Comedy, XI Canto of Purgatory: “non se tu Oderisi, l'onor d'Agobbio e l'onor di quell'arte ch'alluminar chiamata è in Parisi?”. A fascinating art, made of pigments and gold leaves, goose feathers and nibs, inks and a lot of patience and knowledge. The final result though, is unique, and what you bring back home with you is such a precious and original object.
