Wonderful experience with Laura! - Creating a painting in Florence to take home was a true highlight of my time in Italy.
My instructor, Laura, was outstanding in teaching me the basic fundamentals of oil painting. Laura made this experience one that I would like to return and create more. Laura has so many great years of experience and offered many tips for me to go home and start to make my own masterpieces. Thank you so much Laura and I hope to return next year for more classes. Ciao for now Janice!

Incredible Experience in Florence - I was taught in the Florence Studio for one week, 3 hours each morning. The experience was incredible: Laura, the teacher, is beyond talented and an excellent teacher. I was a complete beginner, so she went at my pace and taught me to trust my instincts. No matter your skill or experience level, you'll be made to feel confident. Towards the end of the week, we realised I would need an additional 2/3 hours to complete the painting before I flew home, which she graciously added in the afternoon.
We also had lovely conversations with the other student and her husband, Frank, who teaches sculpture and there's always water, coffee and prosecco available in the studio!
I cannot recommend this experience enough. I am grateful for my time there and will be back next year!
