I would like to propose a specific course on "love pottery" to those who decide to spend a lovely day together, or would like to do an original gift to the beloved person, to a couple who is getting married or for a wedding anniversary.
This art was born in my territory towards the end of the 15th century when, also thanks to the influence of the Renaissance love poems, the lovers and the betrothed used to give their loved ones their portrait drawn on a majolica platter.
This is where my workshop starts from. First you will draw the profile of the person you love on a sheet of paper, then you will reproduce it on a ceramic platter, using the ancient technique of dusting. You can customize your artifact adding the features of the person that you are painting, and then a love sentence, a name or a dedication.
I will tell you the secrets of this wonderful technique and we will study together all the details of the beautiful colors of majolica. After the cooking, your artifact will be sent home (free of charge for residents in Italy).
Comfortable clothing; all the rest is available in my shop.
The shipping of the artifact in ceramic is included in the price only for shipments in Italy.
At the end of the workshop I will give you a lovely gift, to thank you for the experience in my lab.
The price includes the possibility to have lunch in a restaurant where you can taste the specialities of the Montefeltro territory.

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”!
