I've had a base in the Chieti region of Abruzzo for nearly 10 years - I offer tailor made, short workshops and tours for visitors and residents [in English]. Below I have mentioned half day scenarios but they can be extended depending on your desires
Working en-plein air, I can suggest locations - I am based around the Atessa, Tornareccio, Lanciano areas.
I have the materials and portable supplies [inc. sewing machines & print equipment] so I can be 'mobile'.Prices and durations do vary depending on your location and circumstances, so please do get in touch to discuss the possibilities to enhance your stay in this beautiful area.
