One week in western Sicily, one of the most intriguing cultural crossroads of the Mediterranean. Magnificent landscape, culture and hospitality are the striking background for an exciting workshop and creative holiday. You will learn new artistic skills and along the way collect loads of precious memories. The program is held in the tradition of plein- air painting (outdoor) to capture the spectacular land and seascape we'll reach.

Facility Information:
We will stay in delightfully restored Sicilian cottages, just a few steps from the Scopello, the two-streets-and-a-square, built around a baglio, the traditional Sicilian fortified farmhouse. The rural architecture has a colourful bohemian feel, but lacks none of the essential comforts. A garden, sumptuous with citrus plants and palms surrounds the lodging, featuring magnificent views on the turquoise sea. The village square with it’s little street café and Pasticceria will be our favourite destination for cappuccino or a glass of wine.
