Painting course

In the South Salento art is everywhere:  the quarries of Lecce stone that gives rise to the churches and monuments of Lecce, (referred to as the Florence of the South), the handcrafted terracotta of Codimari (so - called ancient potters of the place), the papier-mâché statuettes puppets of Lecce, the fine laces, embroideries and paintings in ancient times used for the dowries of promised brides.

Amongst the trulli with their dry stone walls and the magical light that illuminates the beautiful scenery, we want to brighten up your holiday with some hours dedicated to art.

Our creative holiday includes four or six days tuition, self-study time and opportunities to visit the beautiful art monuments all around Salento ( athedrals, Castles, etc..).
