Super cool experience

My young adult daughters and I had such a fantastic time! The instructor was delightful, throat, and engaging. There was a total of seven participants, and we each designed and completed three different marbling patterns on roughly 8 x 11“ pieces of paper. We are now all inspired to continue this art work at home! And, you don’t need to be a creative or artistically talented person to make amazing pieces! Such a fun way to experience and underappreciated historical art form of Florence.
