“ In our visit with Jen we learned some of the “tricks” that have been used for hundred of years. This wonderful experience was great fun under Jen’s gentle guidance. Jen is a true artist, natural teacher, and a wonderful kind person. I’ll be back for more learning and laughter before long, thank you for two hours of sheer joy!”
“I absolutely loved this experience. I’ve been wanting to learn Florentine marbling for years, and this was such a special opportunity to learn the history AND have a hands on chance to marble papers myself. It was an absolute delight from start to finish, and I love that I have these papers as a souvenir and moments of this occasion. Jen was so kind and accommodating, and I would absolutely do this again.”
“Highly recommend class if you are in Florence! Such a fun way to spend a few hours and take home a souvenir you made in Florence!”
