Ribbon Art in Tuscany with Helen Gibb

September 6-13, 2008
Organized by Toscana Americana Workshops

Register today to secure your place!

Join Helen for this once-in-a-lifetime trip to Cortona (where Under The Tuscan Sun was filmed). Enjoy the beauty of the Tuscan hills, and the towns and villages as you create some wonderful ribbonwork projects—mementos of a fabulous Italian holiday. During this workshop you will learn a wealth of ribbonwork flower techniques and some silk ribbon embroidery stitches. All are combined to create some very special projects. We'll also go to Florence, visit a lace museum, partake in a Tuscan cooking class and more.

A supply list and kit (approximate cost $175) will be provided to all registered participants one month prior to departure.

Price of the trip is $2,699.00 and includes tuition, hotel, all meals, activities, and excursions. Airfare and ribbonwork kit not included.
