    What a fabulous experience! Jen was full of knowledge about art, and the tradition of paper marbeling in Florence. She was also super encouraging and helped us get creative during the session. Everyone at home is complimenting what we made! Would definitely book again when we come back to Florence.

    My young adult daughters and I had such a fantastic time! The instructor was delightful, throat, and engaging. There was a total of seven participants, and we each designed and completed three different marbling patterns on roughly 8 x 11“ pieces of paper. We are now all inspired to continue this art work at home! And, you don’t need to be a creative or artistically talented person to make amazing pieces! Such a fun way to experience and underappreciated historical art form of Florence.
