Thanks again to Eva, Cecilia and Filippo at Fondazione Lisio for another exceptional weaving experience. Our 5 weavers from USA and Canada produced silk jacquard samplers of their own designs as well as designs from Lisio’s archive, including some hand-cut velvet. We’re looking forward to returning in October 2024.
“I have just returned home, still buzzing with all the excitement of the last two weeks. Thank you so much for all your hard work setting up an amazing trip for us - it was great meeting you and hearing more about your future ideas too. Valeria was amazing. We loved her dearly. Maybe I’ll see you in Sweden one day soon!” - Amy, USA
“Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable trip! Valeria was exceptional, personable, really a very lovely person - just a delight! I really enjoyed my time at Lisio and the tours in Prato, the Bargello, Paolo Carandini and Antico Setificio - wow! Thanks so much for everything. I would definitely recommend this tour!” - Elizabeth, Canada
“It was a really lovely trip and well organised too. Valeria was really amazing in her desire to help all of us have a good time, she went above and beyond what she needed to do. I think everything was well-placed and interesting before the class began. I felt honoured to be able to weave on the old looms and to have even a small piece of fabric to take home. I will remember the trip forever.” - Marilynn, USA
