My workshop took place at the Tuscan Renaissance Center, a restored monastery in San Fedele, Italy, in the Tuscan mountains.

I thank the owners for their gracious hospitality and I thank our hosts for maintaining a spirit of conviviality and for taking such good care of us.

Here's a photograph of Michaelino, who drove us pretty much EVERYWHERE and diverted onto a dirt road one day where we picked, and ate, delicious Italian cherries, which were ripening during our time there.
I'm also posting a picture of some of the fine Tuscan wine we enjoyed. This is right outside my room.....
