Textile Workshop

Today was our dying workshop up at the Ad Maiora studios.

everyone got a hand-made name tag
First the big walk up the hill.

Then lots of stitching before the dying part.


Marina concentrated on showing how the stitch size, the thread size, the tightness of stitch and the length of stitch plays a part in the final design.


Then the surprises!




Amazing teacher...as always.


We had lunch up at the studio. Jenni made fabulous orrecchiete! Hand made, of course!


Recipe from her family from Puglia. She made it with the traditional sauce- cimi di rape and anchovies, onions.

Better than delicious!!

The weather suddenly turned and Barb and I made it into the museum just in time.

No filter!

We managed to see a few more exhibits from Verona Tessile before getting together for an apericena.
