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 You can find dishes, artworks (decorated majolica, etc) and historical documents.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.
Comfortable clothing; everything else is available at my atelier.
The shipping in Italy is for free.
Shipping outside Italy are charged extra.
It is possible to agree upon a different time from that specified.

REPRODUCTION OF A FRESCO
Linda, majolica decorator
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.

AMONG GYPSUM AND STUCCO
PATRIZIA, artisan of gypsum
This experience is for all those who want to discover the fascinating world of stucco. It is ancient art that consists in the transformation of the gypsum's dust into artworks. After a brief introduction to my activity, I'll introduce you to this craft, and I'll tell you of how is born my passion culminated with the opening of the artisan atelier. We'll then analyze the preparation of the various models, the creation of the ancient and modern molds, before doing the dough base. Once you learnt this, we'll run through the different production techniques, such as the pouring in the molds, the press and the etching. We'll thus go through the foundation of this wonderful art! We'll then together try to apply the notions you learnt previously, by creating a frame with metal mold. Later it will be completed with leaf gilding, coating and pictorial decoration. An educational experience for everyone who wants to learn something about this world, within an atelier where everyday “you get your hands dirty”!

RESTORATION AND FAMILY
Maria Josè, restorer
We'll tell you the story of our artisan family, showing you the various activities, from faithful reproduction of vintage furniture, painting, gilding, restoration, cabinetmaking, up to turning. We'll experience together the emotion in the final creation of a wooden-tile. We'll use the pounce technique, the original gilding technique (“doratura a guazzo”), and/or the painting with colors prepared as our ancestors used to do. You'll keep the final artwork as a memory of the morning we'll spend together.
