Victor Greenaway is a well-known and celebrated Australian artist and Fellow of the Australia Council for the Arts ( www.victorgreenaway.com/ ) and is currently living and working in Italy. He is not only a master of ceramics for which he is widely known, but also of drawing and painting. As an accomplished artist who also teaches with a passion and dedication, he leads small groups and individuals through the process of seeing through line and form, helping in the creation of a personal “Grand Tour” diary of drawings and sketches from life. Victor also conducts private classes in painting as well as ceramics with a special emphasis on design, throwing and turning, and glazing skills in both porcelain and terracotta.

The consumate skill of Marino Moretti Personal attention and critique is given at all times Private Master Class with Melbourne artist Kim Martin Classes are relaxed and a lot of fun - for all comers Great results - all completed work is fired and handed back at the end of the programme Marino was born in Orvieto and is passionate and knowledgeable about his heritage and eager to share it with all

Marino Moretti, more painter than potter, is a noted Italian maiolica artist. His work reflects the rich cultural heritage in his skilful and modern interpretations of the great Italian maiolica artisans. Marino undertakes classes in maiolica painting and provides a wonderful insight into the history and mythology of the history and heritage of his speciality.

Classes guided by these masters are a very special highlight of any program, relaxed, informative and a lot of fun.

Drawing classes are conducted in amazing venues, depending on the program, in Rome, Florence and in Orvieto. In Rome and Florence we select venues that give a flavour of the city without being too overwhelming. In Umbria we have the centre of the beautiful city of Orvieto as well as panoramic vantage points in the surrounding regions. Painting classes for groups are typically held in an agriturismo close to Orvieto that also provides accommodation. Some selected, individual or one-on-one painting classes may also be conducted in Victor's painting studio in Orvieto. Ceramic courses are typically conducted in Marino's very special studio a 9th century castle, perched on a hill top looking across the valley to the city of Orvieto, however, some throwing classes may also be held in a private studio in Orvieto.

All accommodation, transport, guided excursions and visits within the region are usually included in these programs but this depends on individual requirements and the time available. Personalised attention, supervision and critique are given throughout all classes.
