PAINTING ON FABRIC WORKSHOP
Yesterday we took a group for another of our wonderful creative workshops in Atessa. This time it was fabric painting with ArtigiAmalia , and it was a seamless and soulful experience for all. The day kicked off with a wander through Atessa to visit a secret historic church that houses an exhibition of International artists contempory artwork based on water. Anna Pia explained the meaning behind some of the artworks on show which gave the group their inspiration for the mornings workshop. Afterwards they headed to B&B ex Albergo Centrale Atessa where Gabriella and Amalia were waiting and the workshop commenced. Everyone channelled their inner artist and even those not so confident in creating had to agree that Amalia's patience and clear explanations with a bit of translating by Max gave them the confidence to express themselves on the fabric with the fabric paints and brushes.
They re-fuelled twice because of course all the concentration had built up a good appetite! Firstly with a coffee break where a soft and delicious lemon cake was served and for lunch they ate fresh out the oven delicious and pillowy pizza, homemade savoury pastries filled with local cheeses and meats and fresh and creamy mozzarella, all made by Gabriella's fair hand.
The day was a huge success, new skills learnt, tummies full and happy, a few more Italian and dialect words to impress the neighbours with and more secret places discovered around hidden corners.
