Vividly, I remember my first day painting at the Scuola d' Arte Ceramica in Deruta, Italy
Vividly, I remember my first day painting at the Scuola d' Arte Ceramica in Deruta, Italy
I painted the tile you see above on my second day of instructions
This is "my" desk at the Scuola
This tile was my first assignment. After a few hours of painting, Professor Nicola Boccini decided that I could move on to a more difficult pattern. This is the way the school tests your level of expertise.
I've painted at this fantastic school several times. Students walk in and out all day. They are encouraged to paint when they can. Always, the most revered Maestro, Romano Ranieri, is painting while keeping an eye on every student. He graciously offers his help whenever needed.
The Maestro gave me this beautiful book which contains many of his important works.
Forever I will cherish the lovely message he wrote.
