Desarae’s Pen & Ink Drawing workshop will be held in the heart of Tuscany, in a 500-plus year old villa, which has been in Giuseppe’s family for generations. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as a working olive farm, but it will be our home-away-from-home for 7 days. We will have access to all the wonderful sites, via our drivers, Remigio and Vincenzo, who have grown up in the region and know all the best places to see and discover.
Each bedroom is charmingly decorated and large enough for two people to share easily. Single supplements are limited, but available on a first-come, first-reserved basis. There is a studio for 24-hour use and our meals will be served daily in the large dining room.
The owners, Giuseppe and Paula, will be happy to give a tour of their ancient cantina (wine cellar), as well as recommendations for outings. There are so many fabulous areas to visit, it’s likely you will choose to come back again. The art in this area is rich and varied, and the food is delectable. Perhaps we will visit a winery or a 1000-year-old abbey on one of our jaunts. But you don’t have to travel far to see amazing things: our home is nestled right under the watchful gaze of Contignano, a tiny village of only 300 people, built in the 800’s and just a few minutes from the Radicofani fortress ruins.

Desarae has been a big hit with our students because of her kind and thoughtful teaching style. She gives great instruction and valuable feedback based on the individual’s experience.
