Your journal begins with full-day of exploration that includes a ferry ride to the stunning Isle of Capri, where a local guide will take us through the elegant streets of Capri and Anacapri. For those who wish, the chairlift to Monte Solaro offers a sweeping view across the Bay of Naples – a moment of awe you’ll carry with you. The afternoon brings a private tour of a historic lemon grove with our friend, Pia, followed by dinner right here in the grove. Magical!

The next days unfold with the joyful rhythm of art-making as you spend time in the studio space learning Elizabeth’s sought-after techniques such as layering, texture, tearing and gel printing, all while crafting a personal piece of art that reflects your experience and connection to this region.
