La Meridiana offers a variety of different initiatives embracing most of the year with students and artists coming from around the world. The courses range from beginners to more advanced and technical subjects. Both one and two week courses are scheduled.
Some of the instructors are members of our teaching staff here at La Meridiana and live in Italy. Many are from other countries and cultures and this gives participants a great opportunity to develop their ideas and skills. Groups can be self-organized and programs customized. Residencies are available in winter months.
