Retreat and create:
Develop your art skills under the expert guidance of the gifted artists Regula Zwicky and Francesco Marzetti in an unforgettable setting high above the lake of Bolsena.
Regula's and Francesco's philosophy is to enable the individual to truly experience land and nature through their art work, wether inspired by the surrounding or through using the actual physical material such as stone, plants or natural colours.
The unique setting of La Montagnola offers a place to retreat and (re)open your creativity.
The workshop:
Regula and Francesco teach and guide various techniques, in line with the interest and experience of the participants.Techniques include amongst others:
Stone sculpting: Under the guidance of Regula you create sculptures or practical objects out of local stone.
Acquerellando in Natura: Print with plants and peddles on paper, linen and cotton. Create your own colours from "juices of nature" - plants or vegetables out of the garden you discover together with Francesco
Traditional Acquarell: Under the guidance of Francesco
