Top Abruzzo Classes & Workshops

I attended the course of basic drawing, landscape watercolor and urban planning. I can say that Colleen's professionalism and passion is unparalleled, she makes the environment really welcoming, transmits her knowledge in a precise and clear way making available many artistic inputs to work well taking into account everyone's needs. Thanks to his courses, art really becomes a discovery, even for those who already had basic knowledge. It creates moments of fun, creativity and sharing. Daedalus is a guarantee. Super recommended to ALL!!!!

I have just spent an incredible time participating in a printing course working with cyanotype and pronto plate - Colleen was full of knowledge which she shared effortlessly with myself and the other attendees - i would suggest anyone wanting to do a course with Colleen will walk away with more knowledge and a portfolio worth a weeks work and more - I can recommend this course highly for both beginners and Masters as Colleen accommodates every level of artistic endeavour - great experience thank you

This was the best experience this year has given me. Colleen was not only the hostess with the mostest but an amazing teacher and artist. I needed to reconnect to art and I have left the workshop feeling ready to create again. My husband came with me and was made very welcome during our meal times and outings and found many interesting walks to fill in his days. I would highly recommend any of Colleens workshops. I will definitely be telling my Australian friends to join me next year for another week of creating in Abruzzo with Colleen

I attended the basic drawing course and the one on the human body; in both cases I had a great time both for the explanations, both for the proposals, and for the pleasant and relaxed atmosphere in the group. Colleen is a pleasant, super creative teacher, who makes the atmosphere non-competitive, fun and challenging. Advice!

An amazing weeklong experience, with massive learning and good food from morning to night. Colleen is an excellent teacher and a fun person to be around. Included is also a your of important Castles, abbeys and the beautiful Town of Santo Stefano di Sessano a Medici aproved town. Í higly recomend this experience for any one who is into Printmaking, Italian food and culture and wonderful companioship.

I just had the most amazing experience at Dedalo with a great tutor and artist, Colleen. It had been wanting to learn printmaking for a long time and I was mainly interested in learning the skills...but the whole experience at Dedalo surpassed all my expectations. The course itself was very thorough and I learnt A LOT! Colleen is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience. She guided me in the best way possible. The studio and accommodation are set in an idyllic place, in the middle of nowhere. The food was great every time, traditional abruzzo cuisine cooked with love. Colleen even took us on trips showing us the medieval gems in the vicinity. What can I say...a perfect week with lovely people in a perfect setting!
