Courses with Artisans

Picture
Intensive courses for professionals and keen amateurs consisting of theoretical and practical sessions during which you learn with Italian professionals in your area of interest. Usually during a 5-day course you will work with several different producers to give you an idea of the variation in methods of production. You will be in their laboratories, not an artificial classroom, to experience the physical and economic environment in which each product is made. Since there is a lot of hands-on practice, at the end of each course you have the knowledge and skills to produce what you've been learning about. Course instructors are available after the course to answer questions by email.

Our courses teach traditional products which have come down to us from the particular history of a particular area. You can’t fully understand why they are made the way they are without their historical and cultural background. For this reason we include meals in private homes and family restaurants, and visits to local events and sites of interest.
