For our spring 2023 retreat, we decided to go back to the magical Murano island famous for its glass artists and beautiful Venice.
Last spring, walking around the small alleys of this island we felt the perfume of art and traditions, and it was love at first sight!
Moved by this particular feeling, with this retreat, we want to give you the opportunity to explore your creativity beyond knitting and who better than talented Dario Tubiana (@rosso.cardinale) can help you do that? For the first time, the workshops will include intarsia and embroidery on wool techniques that are becoming so popular. We can’t wait to see the beauty you will create!
