Lemons and Leaves on the Gel Plate!

Botanical Printing Fun Inspired by Sorrento Italy

This week I come to you from Italy, introducing you to my Italy tour coordinator, Pamela Haack. Pamela and I have been bringing groups to Tuscany for ten years. For 2026 we decided to branch out and offer an all-inclusive workshop in Sorrento–beautiful southern Italy!

My mixed media portrait workshop is inspired by the ceramic heads traditional to southern Italy. In this workshop week we will include a full day of sigh seeing, including the island of Capri, in and around Sorrento, and to a private residence with a spectacular view of the bay. We will also have a cooking lesson from a local family.

In the workshop, all supplies are included! All you have to bring is your curiosity and sense of adventure.
