What to expect
You'll work in a dedicated studio, starting each day with technique demos followed by hands-on practice. Mornings cover fundamentals—carving blocks, preparing plates, mixing inks—while afternoons let you experiment and refine. The instructor moves between students, offering feedback and adjustments. Evenings are unstructured; some printmakers sketch or chat over dinner, others explore the village. By day five, you'll be pulling proofs you're genuinely proud of. Expect ink under your fingernails, paper everywhere, and the quiet satisfaction of watching an image emerge from blank material.
Good to know
Bring old clothes; ink stains happen. The studio is accessible for all fitness levels—no climbing or strenuous activity involved. Meals are communal and Italian. Nearby train and bus stations connect to larger towns if you want evening outings.
